Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen (Championship of Flanders) podium history | 2016 edition | Map and profile | start list

Koolskamp - Koolskamp, 16 x 12 km = 192 kilometers

Jens Debusschere (red Lotto jersey) was relegated for irregular sprinting and the race was awarded to Michal Golas.

The race: Five riders broke away after about twenty kilometers of racing. They built a 2min 30sec lead, but the peloton chased them down and they were back in the field with fifty kilometers to go

With 33 kilometers left to race Boris Valléee, Florian Vachon, Nikolay Trusov and Cees Bol escaped, later to be joined by Jens Debusschere, Adrian Stien, Michal Golas, Roy Curvers and Dylan Groenewegen. On the final lap the group had a thirty-second lead.

Not all made it to the sprint where Debusschere came into contact with Dylan Groenewegen, sending Groenewegen to the ground.

Though Debusschere was first across the line, the judges felt he was at fault for the crash and relegated him to last of his group, 6th.

Debusschere felt the judges decision unjust, that the error was committed by Groenewegen. Here's Debusschere's tweet: "Thx @GroenewegenD to f*ck up for both of us. I would feel sorry if I did something wrong but this is not the case. Anyway hope you are OK."
