Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM) won the Flèche Wallonne Femmes, sitting on the wheel of Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) until the last 200 metres and reacting to an acceleration by Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek).
Soon, only Niewiadoma, Longo Borghini, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio (AG Insurance-Soudal), Juliette Labous (DSM-Firmenich PostNL), and Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) could follow the Dutch champion, and the latter three had to leave a gap eventually.
250 metres from the line, Niewiadoma came alongside Vollering but waited to make a move until Longo Borghini accelerated on the other side of the road. Then the Polish allrounder kicked into gear and sprinted away from the two others, holding her advantage to the finish line.
