Story of the day

After 90 km, a three-rider breakaway formed. The peloton split into several groups following the climb of the Kwaremont. About 7 km from the finish, some of these groups merged, and three riders broke away once more. Achiel Buysse emerged strongest, crossing the finish line first to take the victory.
