Conclusione a sorpresa nella Halle-Ingooigem con successo del ventiseienne Dries de Bondt della Corendon Circus. Praticamente il belga ha vinto per distacco sfruttando una caduta che si è verificata a meno di un chilometro dal traguardo. Davide Martinelli stava portando fuori il suo capitano Fabio Jakobsen quando è stato investito da un corridore della Corendon Circus che si stava allargando dopo aver lavorato. Il gruppo si è letteralmente aperto e De Bondt ha avuto la forza di resistere al ritorno degli avversari e di andare a vincere.

Seconda posizione per l'olandese Piotr Havik e terza per Philippe Gilbert. Per De Bondt si tratta del secondo successo personale in questa corsa dopo quelo ottenuto nel 2016.

Per fortuna le immagini hanno mostrato un Davide Martinelli in piedi con numerose escoriazioni alla scheina e alle braccia ma senza evidenti conseguenze più gravi.
