BMC's Greg Van Avermaet won the final stage of the Tour De Wallonie in Belgium.

The final stage was from Soignes to Thuin, was 144.7kms long and featured three sprints and one climb at la Cote d'Autreppe. 

With 73kms to go, Vallee, Jack Bobridge and Delfosse had a lead of 2.50 on the peloton which included race leader Alexandr Kolobnev. 

The peloton had got within forty nine seconds of Bobridge and Delfosse who were now leading with 23kms to go.

They were caught seven kilometres later and the peloton stuck together until the finish when Greg Van Avermaet got in front and took not only the stage win but the race overall due to the amount of seconds he gained on Kolobnev.

Daniel Oss finished the stage second with Marcato third.
