As Remco Evenepoel sees it, Tim Wellens was a deserving winner of the Belgian Road National Championships - but for the silver medallist at least, the bizarre tactics used by his other rivals in Sunday's race made it much tougher to challenge Wellens for the victory, too.
Evenepoel finished 38 seconds down on Wellens, after the UAE Team Emirates-XRG racer forged a spectacular 41-kilometre solo winning attack and Evenepoel engaged in a long, unsuccessful two-man pursuit with Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
