Fumiyuki Beppu (Skil-Shimano) and Christophe Moreau (Agritubel) left the peloton at km 8. Moreau stayed away until km 172, just 24 km from the finish | 
It looks like last year's winner, Kim Kirchen of Team Columbia, is the butt of a joke. Kirchen didn't have good form today after making his return to racing from a broken collarbone suffered at the Tour of California in Feb. His name is missing from the results and list of non-finishers. | 
The peloton takes one of two passes at Mur de Huy at km 65 and 95 before finishing on it at km 202 |
Enrico Gasparotto's (Lampre-NGC) move on Cote de Ahin just 8 km from the finish is marked by the eventual winner's teammate, Michele Scarponi, with Alexandre Botcharov (Katusha) tagging along | 
Davide Rebellin timed his climber's sprint finish perfectly while others jumped early and blew up. Andy Schleck paced himself well and finished 2nd. | 
Davide Rebellin wins Fleche Wallonne for the third time in his career. This year might be his last; he turns 38 years old in August. |
Damiano Cunego obviously gave it his best shot and rounded out the podium. Behind him, Samuel Sanchez claims 4th ahead of Cadel Evans whose early jump fizzled out. | 
The Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni-Androni Giocattoli etc. team boss points out a photo opportunity to his winner. |
