Stephen Williams became the first male British winner of La Flèche Wallonne classic race after battling tough weather conditions including snow to cross the line first.
After nearly 200km (124 miles) of racing, Williams attacked on the Mur de Huy – a 1.3km (0.8-mile) ascent with an average gradient of 9.6% and sections as steep as 19% that generally decides the outcome of the race.
