Wout van Aert has won the Superprestige Gullegem. The Belgian was in a league of his own, separating himself from the competition and maintaining his lead until the end.
Lars van der Haar got off to a good start in the race, with Zdenek Stybar and Wout van Aert close behind. Van Aert allowed the other racers to do the hard work while he stayed close to the front with Michael Vanthourenhout, Eli Iserbyt and Felipe Orts.
