Jurgen Roelandts took the victory flowers in the shadow of the Sint-Amandskerk in Roeselare.
Our vice-Belgian champion outmanoeuvred Jérôme Baugnies and Danny van Poppel in the sprint.
Under cloudy skies and with some heavy rain on the menu, the local rounds were completed in Roeselare.
The many spins, rain and wind made for a natural selection.
In the sprint of a reduced group there was no limit to Jurgen Roelandts, who was able to take revenge for his second place at the Belgian championship.
