In the weekend’s other WorldTour event, the Renewi Tour in Belgium, Arnaud De Lie took his first victory since early February when he outsprinted Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to win the final stage in Leuven and wrap up the overall title.
De Lie led his rival by just a single second going into the fifth and concluding day but fell behind in the GC standings when Van der Poel won the first of three sprints in the Green Kilometre, 22km from the finish. The three bonus seconds gained there put the former world champion a second ahead of the Lotto leader, who took just a single second for third place.
