La Fleche Wallonne 2013 – gallery

The second race of Ardennes Week produced the expected climax, but an unexpected winner. 

Katusha’s Daniel Moreno is best known for his fidelity to 2012 world number one, Joaquim Rodriguez, but on the Mur de Huy, the rider so often cast in the supporting role took centre stage.

Moreno’s victory was made sweeter by the quality of the field vanquished by his decisive attack: one that included Rodriguez, his more decorated team-mate and the defending champion.

Stefano Sirotti was our man with the camera. Here’s a gallery showing how the action unfolded.
