Flèche is french for arrow and Wallonne relates to Wallonia, the southern half of Belgium where the race takes place. Hope you enjoy watching and thanks for your interest in the belgian classics (and I guess beers too).
Whoops...I spell checked Wallonne (learned that it has 2 N's), but missed Fleche. Sorry.
