Lars Boven wins and is new leader

The Flanders Tomorrow Tour is an organization of the Krekeldal friends from Handzame, and wants to give Belgian promises the opportunity to measure themselves with the international top in their age category. The second stage was ridden in Staden today. With an average of 47 kilometers per hour, the chaff was quickly separated from the wheat, especially when the heavens opened. 15 men got into a breakaway, and despite a late dropout of three riders, that group went sprinting for the win.

And Lars Boven was the fastest in this, ahead of Tobias Andresen of DSM and Jelle Harteel of Lotto-Soudal from Nieuwpoort. Upstairs is also the new leader. He takes over the yellow jersey from Dries De Pooter, yesterday’s winner in Poperinge.

Tomorrow this three-day event will conclude with a time trial of 12.7 km in Koksijde, and a sprint stage over 124 kilometers in Handzame.
