Specialista nel dominare le giornate inaugurali Rune Herregodts: dopo aver vinto le prime frazioni di Andalusia e Repubblica Ceca due anni fa quando militava in Flanders Baloise, il belga classe '98 dell'Intermarché Wanty ha conquistato a Westkapelle la crono da quindici chilometri che stasera ha aperto lo ZLM Tour, la maggior gara a tappe olandese. Unico a toccare i 51 km/h di velocità media, ha preceduto di 11 secondi Tim Van Dijke (Visma Lease a Bike) e di 17 Gleb Syritsa dell'Astana. Miglior italiano Mirco Maestri, "capitano" della Polti Kometa, undicesimo a 41 secondi dal vincitore, appaiato con Nicolas Milesi (non è imparentato con Lorenzo) dell'Arkea B&B Development.

Herregodts, che mentre attendeva sulla hot seat si è fatto pure tagliare i capelli da Alpecin, sponsor dell'evento, è ora un serio candidato a mantenere intatta la sua maglia gialla di leader. Lo ZLM Tour è infatti una corsa "piatta" (non prevede nemmeno la classifica scalatori) e le quattro tappe in linea saranno tutte per velocisti. Sarà una sfida sul filo delle volate e degli abbuoni.
