Jordi Meeus (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) won a tight bunch sprint at Brussels Cycling Classic, edging Milan Fretin (Cofidis) and Biniam Girmay (NSN Cycling) at the line on Sunday.

Once under the 1km kite, Picnic-PostNL charged with four riders at the front until one rider hit the right-side curb and crashed. From the opposite side of the stampede, Vincenzo Albanese (EF Education-EasyPost) accelerated, but Meeus' teammate Danny van Poppel launched his move with 500 metres remaining and reached him, allowing Meeus to make the final pass.
