Koen Demuynck (42) surprisingly wins Dwars door Wingene

On the flat course in Wingene it is difficult to set up a breakaway. The 161 riders, divided over 23 teams, do not laze around either, an average of 46 per hour, they do over the 12 laps of almost 13 km. Halfway through the game it seems to work. We first get 14 leaders and that leading group grows to 25 units, here in a heavy rain shower. 25 seconds is the maximum lead. Jonas Volkaert is leading the peloton, successfully, with 2 of the 12 local laps to go we get a general regrouping.

Demuynck surprises with a late dropout

Time for Kenneth Verstegen from Beerst and East Flemish Kobe Vanoverschelde to try it. But this attempt is also unsuccessful. Vanoverschelde is the last to be caught one and a half kilometers before the finish. And who is heading like a devil out of a box to win in Wingene? The surprising Koen Demuynck, 42 ​​springs young, he wins his very first Belgian interclub. He gives everything in the last hundreds of meters, because the Oedeleman has no chance in the sprint. He wins ahead of Jonas Volkaert, Artuur Torney, Kamiel Notebaert and the Dutchman Piotr Havik.
