La Flèche Wallonne Feminine ended with Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx) securing a seventh consecutive title in Belgium. 

The mid-week instalment of the Ardennes Classics, held after Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition and ahead of Liège-Bastogne-Liège, proved to be one of the most aggressive editions but the race still came down to the steep slopes of the Mur de Huy.
