The race: Here's the report from winner Fabio Jakobsen's Deceuninck-Quick Step team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

Fabio Jakobsen is back to winning ways, two months after collecting his first victory of the season, at the Volta ao Algarve. The 22-year-old fast man capitalised on his teammates’ superb work and quality lead-out in the final kilometer of Scheldeprijs and delivered a fine sprint inside 200 meters to go, holding off the challenge of Max Walscheid (Team Sunweb) and Chris Lawless (Team Sky) for his second consecutive triumph at the Belgian event.

“To be on the winners’ list here with two triumphs makes me very happy! The guys did an amazing job from the start, for which I am extremely grateful. I knew that I had a strong sprint in my legs and riding with bib number one on the back gave me a lot of confidence, and at the end of the day I am glad I could repay my team for their hard work”.

Flanders’ oldest race started again from the Netherlands and that spelled chaos minutes after the peloton got underway from Terneuzen, with the crosswinds shattering the bunch to three distinct groups, a strong Deceuninck – Quick-Step contingent being part of what soon became the main field with more than 150 kilometers to go. Some riders managed to come back, but things remained quiet for just a brief moment, echelons splitting the peloton and making for a hectic race until the riders entered in Belgium for the final 60 kilometers.

Before leaving the Netherlands behind, several riders were involved in a crash, Fabio Jakobsen being among those to hit the deck. Luckily, he escaped almost unscathed and after a fast bike chance he made it back to the peloton, helped by his Deceuninck – Quick-Step teammates.

The two riders who animated the second part of the race were easily brought to heel by the reduced bunch, before another crash – this time with less than 20 kilometers to go – took other riders out of contention. Edvald Boasson Hagen (Dimension Data) then clipped off the front and built a 20-second lead, which Iljo Keisse and Florian Sénéchal expertly clawed back in the closing stretch.

Davide Martinelli took over and put in a mammoth pull, slotting Michael Mørkøv and Fabio Jakobsen in a perfect position under the flamme rouge. The Danish Champion, one of the best lead-out men in the business, then did what he knows best, an impeccable job in launching the defending champion, who came around and powered past his opponents and netted Deceuninck – Quick-Step’s 22nd victory of the season.

“I was on the mend after Volta ao Algarve, when I got sick, so to get this win is very important for me, but I wouldn’t have done it without my teammates, who totally bossed the finale and showed how strong they are. The race was very nervous, with the echelons and the narrow roads which only added to the nervousness of the bunch, but I remained calm and focused on doing my job. There was some pressure today on our shoulders, but we thrive in these conditions”, explained the youngest rider in history to amass two victories at Scheldeprijs.

Jakobsen also talked of what this win means for him in terms of confidence and his upcoming appointments: “I am feeling much better now and I look forward to continue building on this result. Next week I will be at the start of the Tour of Turkey and hopefully will get in the mix for other nice results together with the Wolfpack.”
