Kuurne is also the opener of the season for the juniors. A serious one, because with former winners such as Remco Evenepoel and Aldo Taillieu, it is an appointment you don’t want to miss. There was already a Frenchman at the appointment: Simon Defrance from Soudal Quick.Step. He makes it in a sprint with three ahead of Tijs Witte and Antoine Salamin.
