The breakaway has prevailed at
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad WE 2025. After a day where no one from the peloton seemed interesting in leading a chase,
Lotte Claes outsprinted
Aurela Nerlo to a stunning, upset win.
Somewhat crazily, heading into the final 30km, the breakaway had a mammoth lead over the peloton of around 8:20, giving those in the main bunch a hell of a lot of work to do to get back into potentially race-winning contention. With 12km to go and the break still well clear in the distance,
Demi Vollering decided to take matter into her own hands and attacked the peloton, being joined by
Puck Pieterse in the chase of the leaders.
