The famous Ardennes climbs will host the Flèche Wallonne this week on SBS Viceland.
The event is a cycling spring Classic and takes place in the Wallonia region of Belgium. Dating back to 1936, the steep hills of the Ardennes are emblematic of the race.
At around 200 kilometres in length, the hilly Classic still packs a ton of climbing into the day – including three passes of the fearsome Mur de Huy.
The race is almost always decided on the final climb of the hill as riders sprint in slow motion up its double-digit gradients – it’s the steepest finishing climb in Classics cycling.
