The Arrow of Wallonia — one of the most predictable classics. The Mur de Huy wall (26% max gradient!) is climbed three times; the final ascent is the finish line. An explosive, diesel-free day: only the best uphill sprinters and puncheurs win here.

  • Mur de Huy climbed 3 times (1.3km, 9.6% avg / 26% max)
  • Third and final ascent is the decisive finish
  • Pure puncheur race
