It became a matter of last man standing at the Classic Brugge-De Panne on Wednesday, where Juan Sebastián Molano (UAE Team Emirates XRG) escaped a sequence of crashes to win from a reduced bunch.
There were four crashes inside the final 5km at the Belgian one-day race, the last of which came inside the closing kilometre, and took Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) and Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) out of contention.
