Belgian one-day road cycling race
La Flèche Wallonne Féminine is a professional women's bicycle road race held each year in Wallonia , Belgium, in April. It is part of the UCI Women's World Tour , cycling's season-long competition of top-tier races, in which it is the second-oldest single-day event after the Trofeo Alfredo Binda in Italy. The event is raced on the same day as La Flèche Wallonne for men .
The race was inaugurated by Tour de France organizers ASO in 1998 and quickly became a road race classic. From 1999 onwards, the women's Flèche Wallonne was a UCI Women's Road Cycling World Cup event. In 2016, the race became part of the new UCI Women's World Tour .
The Flèche Wallonne Féminine is held in conjunction with the men's race , on much of the same roads but at a shorter distance. Likewise, the race always finishes on the steep Mur de Huy . Anna van der Breggen from the Netherlands holds the record for the most wins, with 7 wins, which are also in succession spanning from 2015 to 2021.[ 1]
