Tour of Flanders: Van der Poel crushes the competition and scores a historic hat-trick. The big favorite responded by winning the event for the third time.
The attack of the world champion in the Koppenberg exploded the peloton. A simple last stand for Mads Pedersen, the winner of Ghent Wevelgem last Sunday, but who was very diminished by his fall on Wednesday during A Travers la Flanders. The pursuers ended up on foot in cyclo-cross mode. The Dutchman has been crowned world champion six times. He is also the 6th rider to win the “Ronde” with the world championship jersey.
