Description

The 2025 La Flèche Wallonne was a road cycling one-day race that took place on 23 April from the Belgian city of Ciney to the municipality of Huy. It was the 89th edition of La Flèche Wallonne and the 18th event of the 2025 UCI World Tour.

World champion Tadej Pogačar sprinting to the finish on the Mur de Huy.
The winner was Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates XRG, who attacked on the final climb of the Mur de Huy and finished 10 seconds ahead of runner-up Kévin Vauquelin. It was the largest winning margin since 2003 and marked Pogačar's second victory at the race.

Pre-race favorites
La Flèche Wallonne is known for its steep final climb up the Mur de Huy, featuring gradients over 20%, which typically favors puncheurs. In pre-race analysis, Tadej Pogačar was considered the leading favorite, having won the race in 2023 and coming off a strong classics season where he won the Tour of Flanders. Also among the top contenders were Mattias Skjelmose, who defeated Pogačar in a sprint at the Amstel Gold Race days earlier, and Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, coming off his win at the Brabantse Pijl. Defending champion Stephen Williams returned to the race, but was not considered among the main favorites due to poor results in early 2025. Other notable riders mentioned in pre-race coverage included Thibau Nys, Tom Pidcock, Romain Grégoire, Maxim Van Gils, and three-time champion Julian Alaphilippe.
