Hello and welcome to live coverage of the second of three races that make up the Ardennes Week - La Fleche Wallonne, aka the Arrow of Wallonia.

The moment the race was won...

Valverde: "Hats off to the team - I was really nervous today but they were so impressive. Purito went, then Dan Martin. I did what I could to stay with them."

Julian Alaphilippe was second ahead of his Etixx-QuickStep team-mate Dan Martin. It's the same one-two as last year...

That's a record fourth win for the Green Bullet, Valverde. He's the outright record holder now - and it's a fifth consecutive win for Spain here in Belgium...

VICTORY FOR ALEJANDRO VALVERDE!

But no one is going to stop Valverde today...

Valverde is between Martin and Alaphilippe...

Rodriguez attacks! Valverde has his wheel. Then Martin attacks!

Valverde still leads on this climb but no one's attacking yet. They're on the 20% section now... and it's thinning out.

All the big guns are there - Rodriguez, Valverde, Martin...

Under the flamme rouge! One kilometre to go and it's all still as one...

Now Wanty send a rider on the front, then Etixx through Brambilla...

LottoNL-Jumbo are on the front ahead of the final ascent, with Movistar tucked in behind. Can Wilco Keldeman do something today?

But it's all over - the leading trio are caught ahead of the third and final climb of the Mur de Huy. The race can now begin!

Wellens has caught Jungels and Izagirre! Nail-biting stuff.

There'll be no repeat win for Philippe Gilbert today - the Belgian from BMC has been dropped by the pack. His main focus will be Sunday's Liege-Bastogne-Liege...

Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal) attacks from the peloton! The Belgian did just this in Amstel Gold.

Ion Izagirre is now on the offensive - perhaps he's been given free rein by Movistar? Jungels hangs on.

But it comes back together on the Côte de Cherave - just Jungels and Izagirre out in front now.

Rodroguez is one of those Katusha riders...
