2014 Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem (1.1), Belgium

17th edition: Saturday, September 20, 2014

Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem podium history | 2015 edition

Brakel - Haacht, 196.6 km

The Race: Greg van Avermaet is enjoying fabulous form, winning two races this week. Not only did he win today's Primus Classic Impanis-Van Petegem, on Wednesday he won the GP de Wallonie.

Bicycle History

Here's how BMC described the race: Van Avermaet earned his second win in four days by surviving from what was a 10-man breakaway that formed 20 kilometers into the 196.6-km race in Belgium. The escapees enjoyed a nearly six-minute advantage before a small chase group threatened to make the catch inside the final kilometers. Van Avermaet out-sprinted four other survivors from the original breakaway to win ahead of Tosh van der Sande (Lotto-Belisol) and Michal Golas (Omega Pharma-Quick Step). The chase group arrived 11 seconds later and the peloton, with Hushovd, was 57 seconds back. Van Avermaet said he was only looking for a good day of training following his victory Wednesday at Grand Prix de Wallonie. "We just gave it all to stay in front to the finish and that is what happened," Van Avermaet said.

This was Thor Hushovd's final race as a cycling professional, ending a 15-year career that included a world championship and victories in all three Grand Tours.
