È arrivato in punta di piedi come stagista, ha subito convinto tutti, si è meritato il contratto per il passaggio al professionismo nel 2020, ha vinto pochi giorni fa una kermesse importante come la Textielprijs Vichte e oggi si è esaltato conquistato il Kampioenschaap Van Vlaanderen.

È davvero un momento d'oro per il ventitreenne tedesco Jannik Steimle che si è imposto oggi nella classica belga grazie ad un autentico numero: scattato ad una manciata di chilometri dalla conclusione, infatti, Steimle è riuscito ad esaltare le sue doti sul passo e a resistere al tentatico di rimonta del gruppo regalando alla Deceuninck Quick Step l'ennesima vittoria di una stagione straordinaria.

Alle spalle di Steimle l’olandese Timo Roosen della Jumbo Visma vanamente lanciato all’inseguimento, metre Dylan Groenewegen ha regolato il gruppo con Giacomo Nizzolo che ha chiuso all’ottavo posto.
