C’est l’Espagnol Alejandro Valverde du team Movistar qui s’impose sur la Flèche Wallonne. Au rerme des 199 km et des 11 monts à franchir (dont 3 fois le célèbre Mur de Huy), il devance d’une poignée de secondes l’Irlandais Dan Martin du team Garmin Sharp
Tout s’est joué à 8 km du final. Après de nombreuses attaques, le Français Jérémy Roy (FDJ.fr) tente de partir, il compte 8 sec d’avance sur un peloton emmené par les Katusha et AG2R à 4 km du finish. Il sera rejoint au pied du Mur à 3km de l’arrivé. C’est alors qu’un autre Français avec Romain Bardet (AG2R) tente le coup aussi mais sans succès. Dans la fin de montée Alejandro Valverde s’envole, seul Dan martin peut le suivre mais ne pourra jamais le rejoindre. L’Espagnol remporte, 8 ans après, sa 2ème Flèche Wallonne. Belle seconde place pour Dan martin et de bonne augure avant Liège Bastogne Liège ce week-end dont il est le tenant du titre.
Le premier Français est Rudy Molard (Cofidis) qui termine à la 18 ème place
