La Flèche Wallonne was the second of the three Ardennes classics, coming three days after the Amstel Gold Race (won in 2015 by Michał Kwiatkowski) and four days before Liège–Bastogne–Liège. The defending champion in the race was Alejandro Valverde (MOV 2015). http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/a-beginners-guide-to-the-ardennes A beginner’s guide to the Ardennes Cossins Peter 17 April 2015 Cyclingnews.com 21 April 2015 thumb|Route of the 2015 Flèche Wallonne The race took place on a 205.5 km on off route that started in Waremme and ended in Huy. The key aspect of La Flèche Wallonne was the climb of the Mur de Huy, which was crossed three times during the race; the finishing line was at the top of the final climb of the Mur. The race suited both puncheurs and climbers, and had added importance in 2015 because the second stage of the Tour de France, to be held in July, also finished on the Mur, so several riders rode the race as preparation. Despite the addition of an additional climb late in the race, a group formed at the base of the Mur. Valverde won his third victory on the climb, with Julian Alaphilippe (EQS 2015) second and Michael Albasini (OGE 2015) third; Valverde went on to win Liège–Bastogne–Liège as well. La Flèche Wallonne was affected by many crashes, which caused the withdrawal of several of the favourites for race victory, including Philippe Gilbert (BMC 2015), Michael Morales (GRS 2015) and Chris Froome (SKY 2015). Teams La Flèche Wallonne was part of the UCI World Tour, which meant that the 17 UCI WorldTeams were automatically invited and obliged to send a team. The race organisers ASO, which also organised the Tour de France, made eight wildcard invitations to UCI Professional Continental teams. The peloton was therefore made up of 25 teams.Clarke Stuart Flèche Wallone and Liège-Bastogne-Liège wildcards announced http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/fleche-wallone-and-liege-bastogne-liege-wildcards-announced-161600 21 April 2015 Cycling Weekly 10 March 2015 Each team was required to enter between five and eight, so the maximum size of the peloton was 200 riders.ASO 2015 9 MTN 2015 and ROO 2015, however, only entered seven riders each, so 198 riders were entered into the race.La Flèche Wallonne 2015 - Classic http://www.procyclingstats.com/race/La_Fleche_Wallonne_2015-startlist ProCyclingStats 21 April 2015September 2026 InternetArchiveBot ALM AST BMC OPQ FDJ IAM LAM LTB MOV OGE GRS GIA KAT BEL SKY TTS TFR UCI WorldTeams 2015COF MTN EUC ROO TSV WGG BSE UHC UCI Professional Continental teams 2015 Route thumb|upright=2|Local circuit of the 2015 Flèche Wallonne The 205.5 km on off route of the 2015 La Flèche Wallonne began in Waremme, Liège Province, on the Rue de Huy with a 2 km on off neutralised zone.ASO 2015 5 The first part of the route went south-east through Faimes and Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse before reaching the day's first climb, the Côte des 36 Tournants, after 22 km off. After the climb, the riders continued south-east to Anthisnes; here the route turned south. It passed through Ouffet, then reached Durbuy after 55 km off. The route then turned west to pass through Havelange before reaching Ohey after 84.5 km off.ASO 2015 6 The roads between the Côte des 36 Tournants and Ohey were not entirely flat, but there were no categorised climbs.ASO 2015 7 thumb|The Mur de Huy was climbed three times during the race. The finish line came at the top of the climb. After reaching Ohey, the route entered a series of loops. The riders first travelled north, south-west and then north again to reach the day's second climb, the Côte de Bellaire, after 92 km off of racing. The route continued north to Andenne, then east to the third climb, the Côte de Bohissau, 100 km off into the race. The riders then rode north-east to reach the first ascent of the Mur de Huy. The first climb of the Mur came with 87.5 km off to the finish line; it was followed by the day's only feed zone. The peloton continued riding east as far as Modave, where the course turned to the south-west. The Côte d'Ereffe was climbed after 131 km off as the riders returned to Ohey. The race then used the same roads as before between Ohey and Huy, repeating the ascents of the Côte de Bellaire, the Côte de Bohissau and the Mur de Huy. The second and penultimate ascent of the Mur came with 29 km off remaining.ASO 2015 6-7 The final loop of the race followed the same roads as before, east out of Huy and then south-west to the Côte d'Ereffe, climbed with 16.5 km off remaining. After this climb, however, the route turned north to take a more direct route to Huy, though some of the same roads were used.ASO 2015 7 Within the town, the riders were faced with a slightly different route and a climb new to the 2015 edition of the race, the Côte de Cherave. The roads before the climb were narrow and twisting, with a level crossing at the foot of the climb. The hill itself was 1300 m in length with an average gradient of 8.1%; the steepest section came in the first part. The top of the Côte de Cherave came with 5.5 km off to the finish line and was followed by a sharp right-hand turn and a fast descent back into Huy.Fotheringham Alasdair Côte de Cherave set to split pack at Flèche Wallonne? http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cte-de-cherave-set-to-split-pack-at-flche-wallonne 21 April 2015 Cyclingnews.com 21 April 2015 The crucial part of the race was the final 1300 m on climb of the Mur de Huy, with an average gradient of 9.6%.ASO 2015 7 The first 400 m on section of the climb had a gradient less than 7%; after this it increased to about 10%. The steepest section came after 800 m with an S-bend. The steepest part of the climb had a gradient of about 24%; many past races have been won with attacks at this point.Puddicombe Stephen Fleche Wallonne 2015 preview http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/fleche-wallonne-2015-preview-167534 21 April 2015 Cycling Weekly 21 April 2015 23 April 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150423235050/http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/fleche-wallonne-2015-preview-167534 deadFotheringham Alasdair Flèche Wallonne: Tour de France stars versus the Classics specialists http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/la-fleche-wallonne-2015/preview 21 April 2015 Cyclingnews.com 21 April 2015 The finish line came at the very top of the climb.ASO 2015 7 Pre-race favourites left|thumb|Michał Kwiatkowski, photographed here after winning the 2014 World Championships, was one of the favourites for race victory Recent editions of the race had been decided with attacks on the Mur de Huy. The addition of the Côte de Cherave, however, added an unknown factor into the race: it was considered much more likely than in previous years that a group of riders could break away from the peloton on the penultimate climb and hold an advantage to the finish line. No breakaway had won La Flèche Wallonne since 2003. The strongest favourite for the race victory was Alejandro Valverde (MOV 2015), who was the defending champion and who had also won the race in 2006. http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/04/valverde-gilbert-and-froome-ready-for-fleche-wallonne-but-hold-differing-objectives/ Valverde, Gilbert and Froome ready for Flèche Wallonne but hold differing objectives Stokes Shane 22 April 2015 Cyclingtips.com.au 21 April 2015 Valverde had shown good form by coming second in the Amstel Gold Race behind Michał Kwiatkowski (EQS 2015); Valverde was expected to have an advantage on the steep climb of the Mur, though Kwiatkowski was still among the favourites for victory. Three other former winners entered the 2015 race. These were Philippe Gilbert (BMC 2015), who had won the race in 2011; Joaquim Rodríguez (KAT 2015), who had won in 2012; and Daniel Moreno (KAT 2015 y), who had won in 2013. All of them were well suited to the steep final climb. http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/who-do-the-bookies-back-for-la-fleche-wallonne-2015-167332 Who do the bookies back for La Flèche Wallonne 2015? Windsor Richard 20 April 2015 Cycling Weekly 21 April 2015 Other riders considered to have a chance of victory included Dan Martin (GRS 2015), Sergio Henao (SKY 2015) and several other climbers and puncheurs. As the third stage of the Tour de France was scheduled to finish on exactly the same roads, several riders who were aiming at success there rode La Flèche Wallonne as preparation. These included Chris Froome (SKY 2015 y), Vincenzo Nibali (AST 2015) and Nairo Quintana (MOV 2015 y). Race report Early stages A breakaway formed within the first 10 km off of racing. There were seven riders in the break: Thomas De Gendt (LTS 2015), Mike Teunissen (BEL 2015), Brice Feillu (BSE 2015), Jérôme Baugnies (WGG 2015), Reinier Honig (ROO 2015), Daniele Ratto (UHC 2015), and Pieter Vanspeybrouck (TSV 2015). The breakaway initially built an eight-minute lead, with De Gendt leading the group over the climbs. The main peloton was led principally by the MOV 2015 and KAT 2015. http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/la-fleche-wallonne-2015/results Valverde wins La Fleche Wallonne 2015 22 April 2015 23 April 2015 Cyclingnews.com The first major action of the race occurred as the riders approached the first ascent of the Mur de Huy. Dan Martin, one of the favourites for the race, touched wheels with Tiago Machado (KAT 2015 yes) and both riders crashed. Martin returned to his bike and chased back to the peloton with the help of several teammates, but later withdrew. He had hit his head in the crash and wished to recover ahead of Liège–Bastogne–Liège the following weekend. http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/other-sports/dan-martin-withdraws-from-fl%C3%A8che-wallonne-after-crash-1.2185355 Dan Martin withdraws from Flèche Wallonne after crash Stokes Shane 23 April 2015 The Irish Times 23 April 2015 Several other riders were caught up or delayed, including Chris Froome. http://www.independent.ie/sport/other-sports/cycling/nicolas-roche-buried-under-a-french-rider-in-a-ditch-my-teammate-wout-couldnt-get-up-31164540.html Buried under a French rider in a ditch, my team-mate Wout couldn't get up Roche Nicolas 23 April 2015 Irish Independent 23 April 2015 At the top of the first ascent of the Mur de Huy, the breakaway's lead had been cut to under six minutes. http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/04/valverde-takes-control-on-mur-de-huy-to-win-his-third-fleche-wallonne/ Valverde takes control on Mur de Huy to win his third Flèche Wallonne Stokes Shane 23 April 2015 Cyclingtips.com.au 23 April 2015 After the riders left Huy, SKY 2015 came to the front of the peloton with Peter Kennaugh; his riding at the front of the bunch reduced the gap to under five minutes. Honig and Teunissen were dropped from the leading group on the second climb of the Côte de Bellaire. KAT 2015 yes and the MOV 2015 yes were joined at the front of the peloton by DQT 2015 yes as the race returned towards Huy. Final loops around Huy Another crash followed before the climb; this crash was caused by riders bunching together on a road made narrower by parked cars on either side. The most significant rider caught in this crash was Philippe Gilbert; others were Julián Arredondo and Bob Jungels (both TFR 2015). Gilbert got up slowly, with his shorts and jersey ripped. He abandoned shortly afterwards. The next significant crash came with 40 km off remaining. This took out Lars Petter Nordhaug and Wout Poels (SKY 2015 yes), Ben King (TCG 2015), Amaël Moinard (BMC 2015) and Anthony Roux (FDJ 2015). Poels ended up stuck in a ditch for some time with Roux injured on top of him. http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/race_news/fleche-wallonne-race-report-2015/#.VTlbUvbNGRs Wallonne’15: The New Kid And The Champ! Cameron Gordon 22 April 2015 Pez Cycling News 23 April 2015 Another crash happened shortly afterwards, involving Jelle Vanendert (LTS 2015 yes), Alexey Tsatevich (KAT 2015 yes) and Kévin Reza (FDJ 2015 yes). On the penultimate climb of the Mur, the breakaway split; only De Gendt and Baugnies remained in the lead, 50 seconds ahead of the peloton. Giovanni Visconti (MOV 2015 yes) and Luis León Sánchez (AST 2015) attacked the peloton on the climb and joined De Gendt and Baugnies soon afterwards, while DQT 2015 yes and KAT 2015 yes led the chase in the peloton. Tejay van Garderen (BMC 2015 yes) attacked on the Col d'Ereffe, while Visconti and Sánchez soon dropped De Gendt and Baugnies. De Gendt helped his teammate Louis Vervaeke bridge up to Van Garderen. Vervaeke, Van Garderen and Baugnies combined briefly, but were unable to catch the leading pair and were themselves caught by the peloton with 13.4 km off remaining. Race finale Visconti and Sánchez continued in the lead; they had 20 seconds lead with 12 km off left. At this point, another crash occurred in the peloton. This included several IAM 2015 riders, Samuel Sánchez (BMC 2015 yes), Bryan Coquard (EUC 2015) and Froome. Froome suffered cuts on his left side, with blood visible through rips on his shorts. He continued to the end of the race, however, and reached the finish line in 123rd place, over 12 minutes behind the leaders. http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/04/news/froomes-fleche-wallonne-another-one-day-outing-to-forget_367557 Froome’s Fleche Wallonne another one-day outing to forget Brown Gregor 22 April 2015 VeloNews 23 April 2015 25 April 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150425021833/http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/04/news/froomes-fleche-wallonne-another-one-day-outing-to-forget_367557 dead As the peloton headed towards the penultimate climb, the Côte de Cherave, Huub Duyn (ROO 2015 yes) attacked but was unable to build a lead, with Tony Martin leading the peloton on behalf of Kwiatkowski. On the climb, Vincenzo Nibali attacked; he could not build a gap to the group, but did bring them closer to Visconti and Sánchez. Soon afterwards, Tim Wellens (LTS 2015 yes) attacked, catching and passing the leading pair. Giampaolo Caruso (KAT 2015 yes) attempted to follow; he was unable to join Wellens and was recaptured by the pack soon afterwards. Wellens had a 14-second lead at the foot of the final climb of the Mur de Huy. The peloton was led by LAM 2015 for the first part of the ascent. The peloton stayed together for most of the climb, with no rider escaping on the steep sections. In the final few hundred metres, however, Valverde came to the front of the group. He wound the pace up gradually before sprinting within sight of the line. He took the race victory with a significant gap to the riders behind. http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/04/news/road/alejandro-valverde-takes-third-fleche-wallonne-victory_367542 Alejandro Valverde takes third Fleche Wallonne victory 22 April 2015 Velonews 23 April 2015 25 April 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150425175724/http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/04/news/road/alejandro-valverde-takes-third-fleche-wallonne-victory_367542 dead Julian Alaphilippe (DQT 2015 yes) finished in second place, with Michael Albasini (OGE 2015) third.
