Race report
Once the flag drops Dries De Bondt, Antoine Warnier, Tyler Williams, Calvin Watson, Elmar Reinders, Eduard Michael Grosu and Andrea Peron open up a gap, which they widen to 8 minutes.
With 60 kms to go the lead falls below 1 minute and Tosh Van der Sande and Jack Haig bridge across.
Van der Sande and Haig are the last leaders with one 24 kilometres lap to go. They are caught at 11 kms before the line, while climbing Holstheide. Vanendert accelerates and Wellens, Gasparotto, Serry, Pauwels, Meurisse and Lindeman join him.
Wellens goes alone with 8 kms remaining. The home-rider distances the chasers to tackle the penultimate climb on IJskelderlaan with a 20 seconds lead and again on the last haul up the Schavei. The Flemish rider pockets the win, while title defender Sonny Colbrelli comes in second and Wellens’ team-mate Tiesj Benoot in third.
