Ahead of the fourth monument of the season next weekend at Liege-Bastogne-Liege, the peloton stops off at La Fleche Wallone. For Team Jayco AlUla, all hopes rest on the shoulders of Michael Matthews.
“Michael Matthews will be our leader. This year the parcours is changed because they took out the Cherave climb before the Mur de Huy. That means that, on paper, it will be an easier race," previews Team Jayco AlUla sport director, Valerio Piva of La Fleche Wallonne, to the team's official website. "The result is that there is a big possibility there is going to be a big bunch at the start of the final climb up the Mur de Huy. All the riders are there to support Matthews in his mission to get a top 10 result.”

One of those tasked with supporting Matthews will be Anders Foldager, making his La Fleche Wallonne debut. “It’s been really exciting to try these big races. It’s been really hard because my shape is still not 100 percent after a lot of sickness. I have learned a lot and tried to follow the more experienced guys in the bunch to see how to do things and what not to do," he says. "Michael Matthews as a leader is really focused and really professional so that’s really nice to learn from.”
Team Jayco AlUla for La Fleche Wallonne 2024:
Michael Matthews, Davide de Pretto, Anders Foldager, Luke Durbridge, Jan Maas, Mauro Schmid, and Lawson Craddock.

- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
