A cold, rainy Belgian day greeted the riders on their 200KM ride around Flanders. The break was pulled back early and the peloton seemed to just want to go harder to stay warm and get the day over with. The course got more technical as it turned left and right through the flooded fields, making life difficult at the back. A crash stopped around twenty riders and by 30KM to go, only thirty seemed to be in contention for the finale. Uno-X Mobility and Arkéa-B&B Hotels were doing the damage and keeping control of the group. At 1.5KM to go, Q36.5 started their leadout but they were pushed back after a hard right turn with 600M to go. In the sprint, a crash took down a Uno-X Mobility and Unibet rider in the middle of the group. Lotto-Dstny stayed to right side, leading Jarne Van de Paar perfectly to the finish. Van de Paar kept his advantage to the line for the win with Timothy Dupont of Tarteletto–Isorex just behind in second.
