Scheldeprijs: Fabio Jakobsen sorprende

El neerlandés Fabio Jakobsen (1996, Quick Step Floors) ha sido el sorprendente ganador en la 106ª edición del Scheldeprijs-GP Escalda con un recorrido de 200,4 kilómetros que, a diferencia del resto de Flanders Classics, deja opción a los velocistas puros.

Marcel Kittel (Katusha-Alpecin), con cinco triunfos en las últimas seis ediciones, era la rueda a seguir sin discusión, pero ha quedado eliminado al sufrir un pinchazo en los últimos 10 kilómetros, igual que el colombiano Álvaro Hodeg (Quick Step Floors).

6. Max Walscheid (Team Sunweb)
7. Timothy Dupont (Wanty-Groupe Gobert)

Finalmente, el ganador de la Nokere Koerse ha sido el más rápido, continuando una importante racha de imbatibilidad en la clásicas del equipo belga, que viene de imponerse en el Tour de Flandes con Niki Terpstra y que suma ya nueve victorias en clásicas este año.

El canadiense Antoine Duchesne (Groupama-FDJ) y Owain Doull (Team Sky) han llegado destacados al circuito final en una edición más exigente que las últimas por las malas condiciones meteorológicas y los abanicos. Ambos han sido atrapados a 8 kilómetros para la meta, donde ha habido algunos otros intentos de ataques, sin mucho éxito.

Una quincena de corredores, incluyendo favoritos como Arnaud Démare (Groupama-FDJ) o Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo), han sido descalificados a media carrera por superar un paso de nivel que estaba cerrándose, dejando un sprint final con menos alternativas de primer nivel.
