Ramon Sinkeldam wins 2015 Binche-Chimay-Binche
The race: Eight riders went clear, and from that octet, Niki Terpstra took off. No one ever got much of a gap and near the finish, everyone was caught.
It looked like it was going to be a mass romp for the line, except that Giant-Alpecin rider Ramon Sinkeldam had other ideas. With little less that a kilometer to go, Sinkeldam bolted and held a small gap to the finish.
After the race, Sinkeldam said, "We were well represented in the group in front in the finale, and the team did a great job to get me in a good position. Roy brought me into a good position on the final climb, and we didn’t race full gas on the climb so I was able to make a strong attack and eventually that was enough to win.
"I was actually not sure if I was racing for the win or if there was someone in front, and I didn’t know what was happening behind me on the hard cobblestones. So it was exciting until the end.
"I didn’t expect to win today, because I didn’t feel great during the race, so it’s extra special to add this victory to my palmarès at the end of the season."
