The streak of six wins in the previous editions has ended for
Mathieu Van der Poel, the Dutchmen actually started well the racing, being very active and securing a good gap to his rivals Van Aert and Pidcock but in the end he felt loss of energy.
"I tried to make the difference and I think I went best through the sand,but didn't have the legs to keep the difference" said Van der Poel in the flash interview shortly after he crossed the finish line in Diegem.
