After contributing to the chase which ultimately led to Wout van Aert losing Dwars door Vlaanderen in the final few hundred metres, Belgian racer Florian Vermeersch has opened up about the online abuse he received following the race.
The race ultimately saw a dramatic victory for Ineos Grenadiers' Filippo Ganna following a last-gasp catch in which the Italian denied Wout van Aert victory, who attacked in the final 40km and rode solo for much of the final phase of racing.
