Local speedster Jordi Meeus has won a fast and furious edition of Binche-Chimay-Binche, a last blast across the Belgian semi-Classic's final sector of cobbles, taking the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe sprinter to the 15th victory of his career.
Meeus zipped down the left-hand side of the barriers in Binche to stave off Nils Eekhoff (Picnic-PostNL) and former Binche winner Christophe Laporte (Visma-Lease a Bike) to raise his arms for the first time since the Copenhagen Classic in June.
