Paul Magnier won the 2025
Heistse Pijl in a tough sprint ahead of Tobias Lund Andresen (Picnic PostNL) and Simon Dehairs (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
The breakaway of the day was caught quite early with 30 kilometers to go, which opened up an opportunity for young Aldo Taillieu (Lotto) to give it his best shot, but the race ultimately came to an expected mass sprint with Soudal - Quick-Step leading the peloton onto the last time up Heistse Berg.
And the work paid off, because their leader Paul Magnier was by far the strongest in the sprint of stretched out peloton, adding his second victory of the season.
