Mads Pedersen wins Ghent-Wevelgem, beating Mathieu van der Poel in a sprint. The Lidl-Trek rider is placed as an outsider for the Tour of Flanders.
This is the second victory on the Belgian classic in the career of the Dane. The world champion ran out of juice, something he will want to avoid at all costs in a few days. The Dutchman launched the attack from the first pass in the Kemmelberg, while Jonathan Milan opened the road alone.
