Ronny van Holen finishes just ahead of Johan Lammerts.

Winner Ronny Van Holen in 1991 or 1992

The race: It was a cold March day in Belgium.

Close to the race's end Johan Lammerts was away. Ronny van Holen looked to have lots of energy and started moving up. He used other riders chasing Lammerts as bridges, going from one rider to the next. He then went alone up to Lammerts who wasn't too far up the road.

They were now close to the finish. Van Holen spent a few seconds on Lammerts' wheel and then sped by to cross the line alone, a few seconds ahead of a surely disappointed Lammerts.

This was the last big win for van Holen, who had already won the GP Pino Cerami (1982), GP Jef Scherens (1984, 1987) as well as the Branbantse Pijl (1984)
