the triangle directed towards the Wall serves as an arrow; the word “cursoriam” refers to the bicycle in Latin; “murus” evokes the Wall and we can guess the letter M between the two wheels; the circles of the rear wheel illustrate the three climbs of the Wall during the Flèche wallonne; those of the wheel before the three victories of Merckx at La Flèche even if at the time it did not end at the top of the Wall. The plinth mirrors the Chemin des Chapelles. And finally the work was placed at the zero line of the top chrono of the ascent of the Wall."

The work of art by the Hainaut sculptor Michelangelo Circo is made of Corten steel, is two meters high and four meters long. It weighs 2.5 tons and represents a bicycle that symbolizes the route of the Mur de Huy, the three climbs of this mythical hill and the three victories of Eddy Merckx in the Flèche Wallonne.
