In-form Valverde looks to extend his record to five career wins atop the Mur
The first half of La Flèche Wallonne gets underway calmly enough with nary an official climb to speak of in the initial 130km of the race, which runs 204.5km in full. After setting off from Binche, the peloton makes an easterly trek toward the hills, with the first ascent – the Côte d'Amay – crested at 131.5 kilometres. One the climbing begins, though, it doesn't much let up until the finish line.
The Côte de Villers le-Bouillet is next on the menu before the first passage of the finish line atop the Mur de Huy, officially 1.3km in length with a 9.6% gradient but with a significant stretch in the double digits before a flatter section at the top. Once across the line for the first time at 146.5 kilometres, the riders will make two trips around a finishing circuit that includes the Côte d'Ereffe (2.1km at 5%), the Côte de Cherave (1.3km 8.1%) and the Mur.
La Flèche Wallonne will reach its climax as the peloton completes the second lap on the circuit to crest the Mur for the third and final time.
Alejandro Valverde is the odds-on favourite at the moment, and for good reason, considering his skill set and track record on the lumpy Walloon parcours. He also happens to be in blazing form this spring, having claimed overall titles ahead of stiff competition at the Ruta del Sol, Volta a Catalunya and Vuelta al País Vasco. What's more, he has a strong team around him, with former Flèche Wallonne winner Daniel Moreno making a great lieutenant and alternative option for Movistar.
Daniel Martin, twice a podium finisher at Flèche Wallonne, will give Quick-Step a legitimate challenger, even in the absence of Julian Alaphilippe and Philippe Gilbert. Martin is climbing well this year and tends to make this race – which favours his punchy style – a major priority.
Sky will bring a powerful one-two punch in Sergio Henao and Michal Kwiatkowski. Both are in great form. Kwiatkowski may have the more impressive track record in the Ardennes recently, but Henao is probably the purer climbing talent, and he claimed runner-up honors atop the Mur back in 2013. He's more explosive than many realise.
Orica-Scott's Michael Albasini has a knack for strong showings at La Flèche Wallonne, with six career top 10s, and he proved his current fitness with a podium ride at Amstel Sunday. If Valverde can be a major threat at 36, so can Albasini.
AG2R have options with Romain Bardet and Alexis Vuillermoz, as does the UAE Team Emirates with Diego Ulissi and Rui Costa. Cannondale-Drapac have several cards to play with Rigoberto Urán Michael Woods and Tom-Jelte Slagter.
Trek-Segafredo's Bauke Mollema and Jarlinson Pantano, Sunweb's Wilco Kelderman, Warren Barguil and possibly even Michael Matthews, Lotto Soudal's Tim Wellens, Astana's Jakob Fuglsang, Bahrain-Merida's Ion Izagirre and BMC's Samuel Sánchez are others worth watching Wednesday on the Mur.

900 tractors arrived in Brussels on Monday for the ongoing farmers' protests

Farmers began arriving in Brussels early on Monday in anticipation of the European agriculture ministers summit
The biggest issue on the table is the Mercosur trade agreement
which the EU is negotiating with a number of South American countries
While farmers in Belgium must meet rigid conditions
the agreement would open the door to meat and grain from countries where hormones and pesticides can be used without controls
"If the farmer can no longer produce food in Flanders
then the story ends for us but also for the consumer," said farmers union spokesperson Stijn Zelderloo
Farmers have dismissed the commitments that the European Commission has made
such as the postponement of mandatory fallowing
as "a drop in the bucket that should serve to appease the farmers for a while"
"We will not save agriculture with this
Europe does not realise it has gold in its hands," said Eveline Dedoncker of the United Young Farmers
"We have the most fertile soil in Europe in combination with the most favourable climate for producing food
Our Belgian food safety conditions are also stricter than anywhere else in Europe."
"We want to be paid for our products and not with subsidies
We do not want to be dependent on someone who decides how much we get every year," Dedoncker said
