The Baloise Belgium Tour has ended today. Stage 5 provided a golden opportunity for the sprinters in the city of Brugges and it was Tim Merlier who won the battle against Jasper Philipsen in the final stage.
The finale of the stage saw the breakaway get caught but despite that, there were a few attacks towards the finale of the stage. Philipsen will race the Tour de France soon but he has been beaten by his former teammate and new main rival in the sprints Tim Merlier, who convincingly won the final uphill sprint. Tom van Asbroeck of Israel - Premier Tech rode to a very surprising third place in the final sprint.

- Cycling is funny like that, you can be struggling for weeks, feeling like you’re tied back by an elastic and you can’t seem to find a solution and then bam, one day you’re flying like it snapped. Don’t know any other sport where you can hve such huge swings from one moment to the next.Mistermaumau24-04-2025

- The champions of Amstel chugging contest are also the champions of this race. Coincidence? I think not :)
KerisVroom24-04-2025 - " I can only blame that on the cold"... mmm... maybe you can blame the Mur de Huy. Even with 25°C you are far away from Tadej in hard climbs (and from Jonas). And this is a tired Tadej... Imagine a Tadej at 100% of his shape.. Wait for Liegi that suits better for you (rain or not rain).
