After a late catch by the peloton, Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) produced an incredibly strong sprint to win In Flanders Fields, as he beat Tobias Lund Andresen (Decathlon CMA CGM) at the finish in Wevelgem to take an emphatic victory.
The Belgian rider had been left disappointed after narrowly missing out on the win at the Ronde Van Brugge earlier in the week, but was back to his best in the final sprint, as a gap opened up for him along the barriers, which gave him just enough space to emerge from the slipstream and launch for the line.
