The 29th edition of La Flèche Wallonne Femmes was won in style by Demi Vollering (FDJ United – Suez) as she attacked 500 m from the finish on the Mur de Huy and held off 2025 winner Puck Pieterse (Fenix – Premier Tech) over the final metres. It was a sweet victory for Vollering – who won the race in 2023 – after she was beaten by Pieterse by two seconds last year and by the same margin by Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney in 2024. The top three was completed by rising Spanish star Paula Blasi (UAE Team ADQ) who was 3” behind the front two, with Niewiadoma Phinney (Canyon//Sram zondacrypto) fourth at +6” and seven-time winner Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) fifth at +11”. That result meant there were four former winners in the top five, alongside impressive debutant Blasi.
