La Flèche Wallonne 2026, 22nd April

[Berniece]

Hilly race, peloton sprint on Mur d'Huy. Pogacar isn't here so it will be interesting to see who takes the win. L. Martinez, Seixas, Vauqelin maybe depending on his injuries, and many others have a shot. Evenepoel will also ride it, and he's in form, but unless he goes from afar this isn't his thing.

Before his problems (cold and crash in 2024-2025) Skjelmose was 2nd in FW'2023 and he's in good form. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins it this time.

lenny martinez will win this bike race

 

[canina82]

I have a feeling Pogacar will just make a late entry in the startlist.

Weather prediction is basically perfect sunny conditions but wind from the east, which is more headwind than usual on the Muur.

Maybe we should make a poll to see if our dear forum users approve this idea

i approve , he cant hurt this race too much

Is that so? There are at least a few guys with a decent chance of winning. It changes with Pogi around.
As for the race in general, yeah, it's the same as always.

Because the race is already crap?

i can rewatch the last three editions entirely in 11 minutes . easy prep

Rather here than in a good race, but I'd still prefer a finish with no clear favourite.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Maybe Remco will change it with a long-range attack so the next time we'll watch more than the last 3 minutes.

greatest harm is if he takes off early like last year and steals some camera time in the last minute from the sprint behind him

Would be nice, but doubt it. Maybe he surprises me like Gilbert in 2011

 

[Didinho]

No Remco.

 

[Berniece]

No Remco.

All-in for Liege I guess

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

I don't remember a year with so many absences of favorites.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

So FW line-up is even poorer now with so many top dogs on hills missing: Pogacar, Evenepoel, Pidcock, Healy...
No sense to watch until 3 minutes before the line, Remco won't do any crazy attack this year...

also missing gee

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Nobody wants to race this year.

There is no;

-pocagar
-Piddock
-remco
-healy
-jorgensen
-van gils

The stage is set for Roglic to claim his long awaited victory. Bora MUST send him

This!

According to Wiki Rogla has taken part only in one FW edition! Is this a joke?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Yeah, the race is really suffering from missing a man whose one day race record is worse than Vingegaard's.

 

[Coppi-Bartali]

Rogic already saw in Itzulia how close he is to Seixas.

In this scenario, I only see Vauquelin with a slim chance, and we'll see how he is after his accident.

And he went from nearly the bottom of the climb and came third.
