It took a final burst to gift Laurens Sweeck his first victory. The Belgian from Crelan Corendon breaks the ice at Niel in the third round of the Superprestige Elite. The race was fought and uncertain until the sprint between Sweeck and Niels Vandeputte (Alpecin Deceuninck), with the former placing a decisive burst just centimeters from the finish line. Vanthourenhout was also a key protagonist of the day, experiencing a puncture before the sprint and still managing to finish in third place.
