Joaquim Rodriguez, the winner last year following successive second place finishes, suffered a crash during Amstel Gold and is unlikely to be at full power and although compatriot Alberto Contador is in the line-up, that is seemingly under duress from his Saxo-Bank team.
He may well play a support role for Amstel winner Roman Kreuziger and Nicki Sorensen.
Team Saxo-Tinkoff sports director Philippe Mauduit said: "We go in Fleche with three free riders in Roman, Alberto and Nicki, and these three must be protected throughout the race, so they come unscathed to the final.
"But I think despite Roman's stunning victory in the Amstel, the Mur de Huy suits simply other great riders better, but that does not mean that we have no hope of winning."
'Purito' Rodriguez did a two hour training ride on Tuesday to confirm his participation but was downbeat on his chances.
"I will take part in La Fleche Wallonne with the number one on my back and that gives me strong motivation - but I’m also aware I’m not in my top shape and so it will be very hard to replicate last year's victory," he said. "I hope to recover my top shape for Liege-Bastogne-Liege."

Michael Albasini stormed up the Mur de Huy to take second last year and will lead Orica-GreenEdge with Simon Gerrans resting ahead of Liege-Bastogne-Liege.

“The final time up the Mur is a real killer. It’s a bit over one kilometre long, but it’s really steep with a maximum gradient of 26 percent.”

Every rider I have ever coached has come to me in some state of over training so the first thing I always do is have them take a week completely off and then another week riding very very easy. Only after that two week recovery can we start to ease into some interval training, making sure that the hard stuff is hard, the medium stuff is medium and the easy stuff is very easy. The amazing thing is what a huge leap in fitness they get after only a month on the program because they are finally in a good cycle of intensity and recovery. “Riding and racing your bike should be fun and enjoyable because there’s a lot of hard work and suffering involved to improve and perform to the best of your abilities. Like anything in life, if you truly love what you’re doing then it will never feel like work. My advice is to recognize what it is you love about riding your bike and focus on that, remind yourself of it as often as possible. For me, I love how far and fast I can go in one day’s training. Living in Sonoma County is the perfect canvas for adventurous days on the bike. You too can explore the area where you live and over time go further and faster.”
