Tour de Wallonie 2018 – Stage 5 [FULL STAGE]

August 1, 2018

Tour de Wallonie 2018 – Stage 4 – Huy – Waremme : 187,5 km

The Tour de Wallonie is a stage race cycling race on the UCI Europe Tour. It runs in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium in the end of July. Between 1974 and 1995 it was reserved to amateurs. Since 2005, the race has been organized as a 2.HC event on the UCI Europe Tour.

Tim Wellens and Jens Debusschere gave Lotto Soudal double success in the final stage of the Tour de Wallonie. Debusschere claimed the stage win in a bunch sprint, topping Quick-Step Floors’ Alvaro Hodeg.

The overnight race leader Quinten Hermans (Telenet Fidea Lions) was on track to finish third in the sprint and take the final time bonus and the overall victory, but failed to finish off the lunge for the line and was overtaken by Dimension Data’s Ryan Gibbons.

That left Hermans tied on time with Wellens, but in the tie-breaker, which looks at stage finishes throughout the race, Wellens came out on top.

Hermans could be consoled with the points classification victory, while his teammate Nicolas Cleppe took home the mountains classification.
