After the finale of today's Scheldeprijs, much attention was gathered at Tim Merlier after the Alpecin-Fenix rider headed in the opposite direction at the finish line, and had to jump into the barriers to avoid a possible collision or interference in the sprint of the chasing group that finished a few minutes behind race winner Alexander Kristoff.

Merlier, who finished ninth after making it into the decisive move early on in the day, but lacking the legs at the end to make his sprinting talent be seen, protagonized this moment which has soared through social media.
