14:46STATEMENTS BY Annemiek van Vleuten after her 2nd position in the women’s Flèche Wallonne: “The team had a perfect career. It gives you so much pride and happiness to see such a dedicated team, one hundred percent, in your choices, and all is contributed to this result.I don’t have to spend an ounce of force before the last part.In Cherave, it’s very important to enter properly, the approaches are perfect, and then enter the Wall of Huy, where Arlenis and Paula are leading the peloton that way … That was the first time in my life, and never. it was too late to find out, that I made the perfect Wall. Every year I started far behind, here we rode with perfect planning for the finish line and the climb, with the help of Alejandro (Valverde) who gave me good advice, I think I did it perfectly.

I did what Alejandro told me. Very strong speed, especially from the two hardest corners; raise a little more if you can thereafter, and I had legs for it; and there were 150 meters more, the sprint, with whatever I had, as he advised me. I saw the stars, literally; I couldn’t even see, but I felt Cavalli coming from behind and he was coming to take me away. I didn’t leave an ounce of energy unused on that climb. The team, as I say, has been perfect; I think we can leave here with great confidence, for the next races and especially for challenges like the Tour de France. With the most climbing teams reaching these performance levels, I am calm and confident that we will reach the summer in perfect condition. Facing Liège, we will go with enthusiasm, because the legs are very good and very few people follow me to Huy, in addition to the fact that the climbs are a bit longer. I really can’t leave disappointed in this second place. There was a moment 200 meters from the finish when I thought I already had, but Cavalli had another change. What keeps me from winning are things that are out of my control, that is.

14:44-63.2KM The escapees will face the first of three climbs they must make to the Wall of Huy, 1.3 kilometers up 9.8%. And they do it with a 1’14 ”margin over the peloton
