VIDEO: The five victories of Alejandro Valverde at Flèche Wallone

Alejandro Valverde is one of the kings of the Mur de Huy and, therefore, of the Flèche Wallonne. The Spaniard, who retired at the end of last season, won the Belgian classic five times.

The former Movistar Team rider won in 2006 and finished second in 2007. It took a few years for his total domination of the race to begin, with four consecutive wins between 2014 and 2017. From that moment, until his retirement, he achieved another 2 second places and another third. And the fact is that no one in history has known the tarmac of the Mur de Huy better than the rider from Murcia.
