Deinze - Wevelgem, 233 km

The Climbs:

• Km 114.7: Casselberg
• Km 120.3: Casselberg
• Km 137.4: Catsberg
• Km 146.3: Baneberg
• Km 154.2: Kemmelberg
• Km 158.2: Monteberg
• Km 185.2: Baneberg
• Km 193.3: Kemmelberg
• Km 197.2: Monteberg

The Race: Five riders broke away almost from the drop of the start flag. The pack let them get a 10-minute lead, but they were swept up as a strong trio led by Stijn Devolder made a credible attempt to steal the race.

Devolder, Silvain Dillier and Andrey Amador looked like possible winners, but with less than two kilometer from the finish, they too were caught. A big crash took out André Greipel and Tyler Farrar. But there were plenty of hungry racers left to fight for the prestigious win.

Peter Sagan went too early and had to watch Degenkolb and Arnaud Demare pass him.

Complete Results: Winner's average speed 41.779 km/hr

198 starters, 153 classified finishers, 45 abandons
