Tadej Pogacar added another prestigious victory by winning the Tour of Flanders for a record-equaling third time with a dominant solo effort against a world-class field, further cementing his place in cycling lore.
Pogacar, from the UAE Team Emirates-XRG team, and his great one-day classic rival Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Premier Tech) were the strongest in the pack and rode together at the front with about 18 kilometres remaining when the world champion launched an attack in the final ascent of the Oude Kwaremont.
