Bob Jungel (Quickstep) was able to rid himself of his companion, Alessandro De Marchi (BMC) as he scaled the wall that is the Mur de Huy for the final time. Jungel went under the flame rouge maring the final kilometer of the race with about twenty seconds on the closing peloton. The minute per ten kilometer rule implied that he had enough to win. Should he be able to hold off those behind, he would be the first from Luxembourg to win Fleche Wallone. However, the steepest section of the climb was yet to come. But a win is still possible.
