Story of the day
The 1939 Ronde van Vlaanderen started later and was shortened by 30 km because it coincided with elections, allowing riders to vote. Over halfway through the race, a 12-rider lead group formed, gradually reduced by crashes and fatigue. In the final 50 km, only four remained; Vandendriessche dropped in the last kilometer, and Karel Kaers out-sprinted the other two to win.
