Who else? Van Aert wins Omloop Het Nieuwsblad

Van Aert made the difference on the Bosberg with about thirteen kilometers from the finish and drove away. The pursuers came no closer and the Belgian champion did not flinch and drove authoritatively to the victory. Colbrelli beat Van Avermaet in the sprint for second place. The 27-year-old Van Aert succeeds the Italian Davide Ballerini on the honors list. Britons Jake Stewart and Sep Vanmarcke completed the podium in 2021. Jasper Stuyven was the previous Belgian winner in 2020.
