Lorena Wiebes scores a hat-trick on the Wevelgem finish line. The Dutch champion beat in a tight sprint Fleur Moors, the 20-year-old Belgian from Lidl Trek, and Karlijn Swinkels of UAE Team ADQ. Fourth place went to Elise Chabbey of FDJ United-Suez and fifth, at 3", Eleonora Gasparrini who in the final kilometers attempted to surprise her rivals. Sixth place for Vittoria Guazzini: the Tuscan from FDJ United-Suez controlled the group which also included Letizia Paternoster of Liv AlUla Jayco, in eighth place.

The race, named In Flanders Fields this year, came alive thanks to the action of a breakaway group comprising Lorena Wiebes (Team SD Worx – Protime), Elisa Balsamo (Lidl – Trek), Fleur Moors (Lidl – Trek), Millie Couzens (Fenix-Premier Tech), Charlotte Kool (Fenix-Premier Tech), Shari Bossuyt (AG Insurance – Soudal), Elise Chabbey (FDJ United – SUEZ), Letizia Paternoster (Liv AlUla Jayco), Mackenzie Coupland (Liv AlUla Jayco), Daniek Hengeveld (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), Eleonora Gasparrini (UAE Team ADQ), Silvia Persico (UAE Team ADQ) and Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ).

At the Kemmelberg, 36 kilometers from the finish, Wiebes made a selection again, taking Moors, Chabbey, Gasparrini and Swinkels with her, forcing the other former breakaway companions to chase.

With regular pace changes, this new quintet increased the gap with the chasers who were then caught by the peloton fourteen kilometers from the finish.

In the final four kilometers, Gasparrini attempted to surprise her breakaway companions several times, forcing Wiebes to take on the burden of the chase.

On the final straight, Wiebes sprinted and won decisively.
