Summary
Quickest 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 Primož Roglič, making his Flèche debut, who attacked early, with around 350 metres to go.
Anna 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.
We also look ahead to Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the other Ardennes classic, which is on Sunday.
