Three out of three in World Cup events. Van Der Poel leaves his mark again in Koksijde (Belgium), repeating his victories from yesterday in Antwerp and a week earlier in Namur. The world champion from Alpecin Deceuninck allows Dutch champion Del Grosso and other contenders to show their pace before taking command in the second lap. He pulls away from European champion Aerts and Sweeks leader who try to close the gap, but it's all in vain. Mathieu accelerates to double speed and settles the race well in advance. A clear victory for the world champion, who finishes ahead of Sweeks, Vandeputte, and Del Grosso.
