S9 Ep38: Pleasures of the Fleche
b'
In this week\'s second episode we review Fl\\xe8che Wallonne, or as Daniel calls it, cycling\'s annual "uphill cheese rolling competition."
\\n
\\nQuickest to the top of the Mur de Huy was Julian Alaphilippe, the world champion, who took his third win in this race. But he was pushed close by Primo\\u017e Rogli\\u010d, making his Fl\\xe8che debut, who attacked early, with around 350 metres to go.
\\n
\\nAnna van der Breggen won the women\'s race, her seventh in a row, though she was given a real battle by Kasia Niewiadoma, with the two going shoulder-to-shoulder as they climbed to the finish.\\xa0
\\n
\\nWe also look ahead to Li\\xe8ge-Bastogne-Li\\xe8ge, the other Ardennes classic, which is on Sunday.
