Stevie Williams won a cold and wet La Flèche Wallonne after putting in a lacerating attack with 250m to go on the Mur de Huy, to become the first male British winner of the Belgian Classic.
Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) and Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Dstny) were second and third, with Vauquelin almost catching Israel-Premier Tech rider Williams to finish in the same time, and Van Gils three seconds back.
