Sunday, August 19: 7th & Final Stage, Lacs de l'Eau d'Heure - Geraardsbergen, 209.5 km

Michael Matthews wins the final stage.

The race: Here's the organizer's race summary:

Michael Matthews came five seconds short of winning the BincBank Tour, but the Australian Sunweb rider was still happy to win the final stage in Geraardsbergen after a tough period.

"We came to the BinckBank Tour to aim for sprint victories with Max Walscheid," Matthews said. "Soren Kragh Andersen and myself were picked to go for the overall win. This morning we were both still in an excellent position. We did everything we could to attack Matej Mohoric, but he was very strong. Soren sacrificed his own changes at the end so I could go for the stage win. It's a shame I came five seconds short to dethrone Mohoric, but we gave it everything. I don't see where we could have gained those five seconds during the past week."

Matthews' win in Geraardsbergen is a highlight of a troubled season so far with plenty of bad luck. "I've been through a tough period with a couple of heavy crashes and illness," he explained. "It's great to show I can still win. I worked hard for this. It?s an emotional win for me and it's a big one in a nice race. I hope the fans by the roadside and on TV enjoyed this past week as much as I did!"

Saturday, August 18: Stage 6, Riemst - Sittard Geleen, 182.2 km

Gregor Muhlberger takes stage six. Sirotti photo

The race: Here's the organizer's report.

Young Austrian Gregor Mühlberger took a surprising win in Saturday's sixth BinckBank Tour stage, defeating the likes of Tim Wellens and Zdenek Styber in Sittard-Geleen with a late attack.

"It's a big surprise to win here, also for myself," a happy Mühlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe) reacted. "It wasn't part of the plan for me to go for the win today. We were counting on Jay McCarthy and Rüdiger Selig in the sprint, and we had Maciej Bodnar for the GC. He also went on the attack at the end."

"But suddenly I was in a position to win the stage myself. We were up front with five riders and I think everyone was exhausted after a tough and hectic final 120 km. I tried my luck and I managed to get away solo. I was the luckiest of the bunch at the end. This is my first victory in a WorldTour race. Me and my team will celebrate this tonight with a glass of prosecco," said the 24-year-old, who won the Austrian national championship last year.

Friday, August 17: Stage 5, Sint Pieters Leeuw - Lanaken, 204.4 km

Magnus Cort is the fastest rider of the break.

The race: Here's the organizer's stage summary.

Once again a breakaway made it all the way to the end in the BinckBank Tour. Magnus Cort Nielsen defeated Van den Berg and Gougeard in a sprint in Lanaken. Rickaert was an unlucky fourth after a puncture.

The early breakaway happened after only 7 km with three riders: Magnus Cort Nielsen (Astana), Julius Van den Berg (EF Education First-Drapac) and Jonas Rickaert (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise). They quickly built up a one-minute gap, but Alexis Gougeard (AG2R) still managed to make the jump from the peloton with a mighty effort.

Mads Pedersen, second in the Tour of Flanders, unfortunately had to exit the race following a crash. Meanwhile the four leaders extended their gap to 4:40. That was the go-ahead sign for the peloton to start taking bites out of their advantage. With 80 km to go their lead was reduced 2:30, meaning the peloton kept a tight grip on the race.

De Bondt took fifth place at the Checkpoint to become the new combativity leader. The Binck Golden Kilometre was divided between the four leaders and again the peloton appeared to have misjudged the breakaway's chances to stay out of reach. Rickaert was poised to take over the leader's jersey, but suffered a puncture in the final kilometres. To make matters worse, he collided with his team's chase car and crashed.

The three remaining leaders fought it out in the sprint in Lanaken. Cort Nielsen proved to be the quickest and gifted Astana a stage win ahead of Van den Berg and Gougeard. A disappointed Rickaert was fourth, just staying ahead of the peloton where Caleb Ewan completed the top-five. Matej Mohoric remains in the lead of the BinckBank Tour.

Thursday, August 16: Stage 4, Blankenberge - Ardooie, 166.3 km

Jasper Stuyven wins stage four.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) has won the fourth stage of the BinckBank Tour in Ardooie. Matej Mohoric (Bahrain-Merida) retains the leader's jersey.

The early breakaway was formed after only five kilometres with Thomas Sprengers (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise), Elmar Reinders (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) and Lukas Spengler (WVA-Wb Aqua Aqua Protect Veranclassic). With a maximum gap of only 3:40, the three riders were caught with over 80 km to go, which prompted new attacks. A group with McCarthy, Kirsch, Edward Planckaert, van Ginneken, van den Berg and Gougeard tried to get away without much success.

In the background the peloton broke up into three parts. The first two parts merged quickly, but riders in the third part had a tough time bridging the gap to the front. That chaos allowed four different riders to escape. Nick van der Lijke (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij), Dries De Bondt (Verandas Willems-Crelan), Alex Kirsch (WB Aqua Protect Veranclassic) and Edward Planckaert (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) gathered around one minute. De Bondt came through in first place at the second Checkpoint, but Elmar Reinders scored enough points to become the new leader in the combativity classification.

At the first passage across the finish the leaders were caught again, while big names such as Fabio Jakobsen and Sep Vanmarcke abandoned the race. The Binck Golden Kilometre proved to be spectacular with leader Mohoric extending his slender lead by two seconds. He now leads Sean De Bie by three seconds.

While everyone was getting ready for a bunch sprint, Jasper Stuyven launched a surprise attack inside the last kilometre. Behind him a moment of hesitation gave the Trek-Segafredo a small margin, which he held until the finish. Caleb Ewan and Zdenek Stybar completed the podium.

On Friday the riders will head from Sint-Pieters-Leeuw to Lanaken for a 204.4 kilometre stage.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Matej Mohoric is the new leader of the BinckBank Tour after the third stage. The 23-year-old Slovenian, a former world champion in the junior and U23 categories, hopes to keep the jersey until the end on Sunday.

Mohoric was part of the early breakaway that surprised the peloton in the stage to Antwerp. He only placed fourth at the finish, but as the best placed rider of the quintet he took over the green leader's jersey. He now leads the race by one second on Sean De Bie and 19 on former leader Stefan Küng.

Mohoric will have to survive a stage on the Flemish cobblestones to achieve his goal of an overall win, but the talented youngster shows no fear despite his limited experience on the cobbles. "I came to the BinckBank Tour with a lot of ambition for the GC," says Mohoric, who previously won stages in the Giro and Vuelta. "The goal was to be in the right breakaway and collect seconds in the Binck Golden Kilometre. That worked out well."

The Bahrain-Merida rider believes the peloton made an error of judgement as it failed to grab the early break before the finish. "The peloton underestimated our group and the technical aspect of the course," Mohoric argues. "It's not unusual to get three minutes as a breakaway, but the five of us all went to the limit and there were lots of corner on the local course in Antwerp. That didn't make it easier for the peloton to make up time."

"It won't be easy to keep the leader's jersey, but I will do everything I can to make it happen. The final stage in the Flemish Ardennes doesn't scare me. I haven't got a lot of experience on the cobbles, actually I never took part in a Flemish classic before. But I think I have the right build for it. I don't fear the cobbles."

Stefan Küng has won the BinckBank Tour time-trial for the second year in a row. The Swiss BMC rider beat European champion Victor Campenaerts by 14 seconds on the 12.7 km course in Venray.

Luke Durbridge was the first to dip below the 15-minute mark with a 14:31.09 early on in the afternoon. The Australian's time was bested by first Alex Dowsett (14:30.41) and then Michael Matthews (14:26.97). A surprisingly strong Søren Kragh Andersen beat team-mate Matthews' time by just 0.59.

European time-trial champion Victor Campenaerts was aiming high for his favourite discipline and promised fireworks. The Lotto-Soudal baroudeur delivered and took a second out of the Dane's leading time.

Dutch time-trialists Niki Terpstra and Jos Van Emden couldn't match the Belgian, but Campenaerts' time still wasn't quick enough for the win. After last year's time-trial win in Voorburg, Stefan Küng again proved unbeatable. With an impressive average speed of 53.7 km/h the Swiss BMC rider beat the best time by a whopping 14 seconds. Küng does the double, also taking over the green leader's jersey.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

The peloton gathered at football club Heerenveen's Abe Lenstra Stadium for a 177 km stage from Heerenveen to Bolsward. Six riders formed an early breakaway: Holland's Julius Van den Berg (EF Education First) and Elmar Reinders (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij), Belgians Dries De Bondt (Veranda's Willems - Crelan), Dimitri Peyskens (WB Aqua Protect-Veranclassic) and Thomas Sprengers (Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) and the Italian Manuele Boaro (Bahrain-Merida).

The rain and wind made a seemingly 'easy' flat stage way harder than anticipated. The sprinters' teams, particularly LottoNL-Jumbo (for Groenewegen), Quick-Step Floors (for Jakobsen) and Mitchelton-Scott (voor Ewan) worked hard to keep the breakaway within their grasp, never giving them more than four minutes.

With 13 kilometres to go the six riders were caught as it finally stopped raining. De Bondt did enough to take the lead in the Primus combativity classification by coming through in first position at the first Primus Checkpunt and in second at the second point. De Bondt and Reinders also grabbed the most seconds of the breakaway, scoring five seconds in the Binck Golden Kilometre, a triple intermediate sprint placed at 22 km from the finish.

A bunch sprint was inevitable, although Jan Willem Van Schip (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) tried to defy the odds with a late attack. The lead-out trains fought each other hard, with Quick-Step Floors installing its sprinter Fabio Jakobsen in pole position. The Dutchman finished off the job superbly with a powerful sprint, beating Marcel Kittel, Caleb Ewan, Kristoffer Halvorsen, Max Walscheid and Dylan Groenewegen. By virtue of ten bonus seconds for the stage winner, Jakobsen is also the first leader of the BinckBank Tour. He will defend his green leader's jersey in Tuesday's 12.7 kilometre individual time-trial in Venray.
