Peter Sagan confirmed his spot in La Flèche Wallonne on the eve of the Belgian race that starts in Ans today.
The 29-year-old, who has gone through the Classics season winless, has only competed in the mid-week Ardennes Classic once before – placing 12th in 2013.

The Bora-Hansgrohe star will tackle the 195.5km race ahead of Sunday’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège, which will be a career-first for him.
Last year’s winner Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors), as well as the second and third place finishers Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) and Jelle Vanendert (Lotto-Soudal), will be on the start line.
South Africans include Daryl Impey (Mitchelton-Scott), Jacques Janse van Rensburg (Dimension Data), Jay Thomson (Dimension Data) and Willie Smit (Katusha-Alpecin).
