Welshman Steve Williams pulls off the biggest win of his career on the Mur de Huy as fellow Briton Tom Pidcock fails to finish.
Welshman Steve Williams pulled off the biggest victory of his career by winning La Fleche Wallonne in Belgium.
But fellow Briton Tom Pidcock was among several riders to abandon the race amid torrential conditions in Ardennes. "I saw the '300m to go' line and I thought if I could put five seconds into the group and get near the line, then I could hold on."He thrived in the rain-soaked conditions which saw several leading contenders abandon, such as Pidcock, Mattias Skjelmose and Tiesj Benoot, and only 44 riders finish.The 124-mile course from Charleroi to Huy finished with a fourth ascent of the Mur de Huy climb, on which Williams held off Frenchman Kevin Vauquelin and Belgian Maxim van Gils.
