- Team DSM roster for the 2023 La Flèche Wallonne Féminine:

Eleonora Ciabocco (ITA)

Léa Curinier (FRA)

Juliette Labous (FRA)

Eglantine Rayer (FRA)

Anna van der Meiden (NED)

Nienke Vinke (NED)

- Albert Timmer, Team DSM coach: "Flèche Wallonne traditionally marks the middle part of the Ardennes week. We usually see some attacks in the pre-final, but the race is mostly decided on the third and final ascent of the Mur de Huy. We go into the race with a young, but a very motivated group. With Juliette, we have someone that can do a good final so the main goal is to set her up, and race aggressively during the race."

- Team DSM roster for the men's 2023 La Flèche Wallonne:

Romain Bardet (FRA)

Romain Combaud (FRA)

Matt Dinham (AUS)

Sean Flynn (GBR)

Leon Heinschke (GER)

Tim Naberman (NED)

Oscar Onley (GBR)

- Christian Guiberteau, Team DSM coach: "Flèche Wallonne is usually a very controlled race towards the Muur de Huy. We pass the finish line twice, before the big showdown in the end. While the race usually comes down to the big test at the Mur, we also have to be sharp on the moves that go in the pre-final. Our plan will be to show some good teamwork and be around Romain during the day. We want to bring him into the final as fresh and well positioned as possible to go for a good result."

- Dylan Teuns (Team Bahrain Victorious) won the men's 2022 Fleche Wallonne. Marta Cavalli (FDJ) won the women's 2022 La Fleche Wallonne Féminine.

- Women's Race Start List here. (2021 start list to come)

- Deceuninck-Quickstep roster for the 2021 Fleche Wallonne:

Julian Alaphilippe (FRA)
Mattia Cattaneo (ITA)
Josef Cerny (CZE)
Dries Devenyns (BEL)
Mikkel Honoré (DEN)
James Knox (GBR)
Mauri Vansevenant (BEL)
Sports Directors: Davide Bramati (ITA), Klaas Lodewyck (BEL), Wilfried Peeters (BEL)

- Deceuninck – Quick-Step sports director Klaas Lodewyck: "We have a solid line-up for Flèche Wallonne, a race where the team proved in the past that it can do very well, with Julian – who won or was always up there at all his participations – and Mauri, who we all remember what an impressive debut he had last year. It’s a strong field at the start, containing many riders who’ll want to get a good result, so it won’t be easy. As was the case in the past, everything should be decided the last time up the Mur de Huy, although attacks could come earlier, on the local laps, meaning we need to be focused and pay attention to these moves."

- Marc Hirschi (Team Sunweb) won the men's 2020 Fleche Wallonne. Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) won the women's 2020 La Fleche Wallonne Féminine. It was her 6th consecutive victory in the race.

- Bahrain-Merida roster for Fleche Wallonne:

Grega Bole
Damiano Caruso
Heinrich Haussler
Matej Mohorič
Luka Pibernik
Domenico Pozzovivo
Dylan Teuns

- Rik Verbrugghe (Bahrain-Merida directeur sportif): "We have a strong squad for Fleche Wallonne.  The last ascent of the Mur is usually the final judge of the Flèche Wallonne. In that key moment we will rely on Teuns and Pozzovivo, that will be ready to follow the attacks of the best riders. Before Mohoric and Caruso can try to focus on the breakaway during the final two laps. Pibernik and Bole will protect our leaders and bring them in a good position, paying also attention to a possible early breakaway, with Haussler that will help to keep the team together."

- Roman Kreuziger (Team Dimension Data) before the 2019 Fleche Wallonne: "Fleche Wallonne is a race that suits just a handful of riders in the peloton. Julian Alaphilippe, Dan Martin, Alejandro Valverde & Michael Woods are your main contenders and then there is another group of punchy climbers that can do well. Gaspa and I are in that punchy climber group. Three times up the Huy will make you really feel it in the legs, and the addition of the other climbs before the finish will ensure there is lactic acid in the legs before the finish up Mur de Huy. I am really looking forward to this, as the harder final suits me. Last year I was 4th and in the past I was top 10 a couple times too. We saw Michael Valgren is getting better and better so hopefully he and the rest of the team can bring myself and Gaspa to a good position and then we can finish it off with some positive results and points for the team."

- Team Sunweb lineup for La Fleche Wallonne:

Jan Bakelants (BEL)
Johannes Fröhlinger  (GER)
Lennard Kämna (GER)
Michael Matthews (AUS)
Nicholas Roche (IRL)
Florian Stork (GER)
Louis Vervaeke (BEL)

- Team Sunweb Women roster for La Fleche Wallonne Féminine:

Lucinda Brand (NED)
Janneke Ensing (NED)
Leah Kirchmann (CAN)
Juliette Labous (FRA)
Liane Lippert (GER)
Coryn Rivera (USA)

- Aike Visbeek - Team Sunweb coach: "La Flèche Wallonne is a race that is often decided in the same way, with the peloton arriving together at the bottom of the Mur de Huy. Last year we saw Michael do an impressive effort to come in fifth place so we will go all in to support him again this year. If there is a big group coming to the bottom of the Mur together, then teamwork and dedication are essential in getting to the right position at the perfect time. Jan will be road captain and we will also have the experience of Nicholas to guide the team to what we hope will be a top result."

- Nicolas Marche - Team Sunweb directeur sportif for the women: "Flèche Wallonne is one of the more famous classics with the incredibly tough finish up the Mur de Huy. We bring a good combination of riders to the race, with a selection of both young and experienced riders. We will try to anticipate and make the race before the final ascent of the Mur by attacking, but we will also focus on keeping Liane as fresh as possible for the finish. We do have a few cards to play in the race which gives us an advantage, with Lucinda and Liane the two main protected riders."

Notes from the 2018 La Fleche Wallonne

- Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe) following the 2018 Fleche Wallonne: "I am satisfied with my result today, the team worked really great together and showed a strong performance. We could realize our plans and put some pressure on other teams due to our attacks. The new course made the race exciting and I think we showed a great teamwork but we focus now on Liege on Sunday."

- Jens Zemke, sports director, Bora-Hansgrohe: "We came to Belgium with a really good team of climbers, therefore we wanted to go offensive in today´s race. Cesare was in the breakaway of the day and also jumped in the second break, which made it until the final climb. As the peloton fell into two parts, we had Gregor and Rafal in the first group and launched some attacks. In the final climb, Patrick was able to finish in a strong 10thplace, which is a really good result. The teamwork was brilliant today, for that I think we deserved more top-ten results."

- Julian Alaphilippe after his Fleche Wallonne victory: "I have been on the podium of this race twice, and if the first time three years ago I was surprised, the second time I was frustrated, but I also took that result as a confirmation. I have always kept believing and worked hard to land a victory in a classic. The team was extraordinary, protected and kept me in a good position, so I want to thank them for their help! Everything was perfect today and now I want to celebrate this fantastic performance."

- Davide Bramati (Quick-Step directeur sportif): "The ten climbs tackled before the final ascent of the Mur de Huy will make up for a tough race, harder than last year. The presence of Côte de la Vecquée and Côte de la Redoute means things will be more demanding in the first part of the course than at the past editions, when the action did not start until late in the race."

- Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) won the 2017 Women's Fleche Wallonne and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) won the 2017 men's race.

- Jackson Stewart, BMC directeur sportif: "The course has changed for La Flèche Wallonne with two new climbs in the first 100km so maybe it is harder from an elevation standpoint but I think it is too early to affect the finale. The circuit is exactly the same so the race is likely to come down to the final ascent of the Mur de Huy as it normally does."
