Going into the final with four is too much, thought Van Aert, who accelerated again one lap later. This time only Iserbyt could come along. And he certainly didn’t give up. After a strong final round, the West Flemish came close, but after a small mistake and a shifting problem, the win went to Van Aert.
Van Aert takes his first victory of the season. An ideal gift for birthday Georges. Iserbyt comes second, Vanthourenhout third.
