Race report
James Fouché, Harry Tanfield and Abram Stockman establish the breakaway virtually from the gun. The peloton does not agree straight away, but then the gap goes out to over 2 minutes. That's all they get.

Tanfield and Stockham are the last attackers to be reeled in with 27 kilometres left.

As in the previous days, Wout van Aert leads out Olav Kooij, who powers to another commanding victory.
