Lidl-Trek's Jasper Stuyven has taken the victory in Oud-Heverlee and crowned himself both the new European Champion and Belgian Champion on the gravel. 
With plenty of familiar names taking to the start line, the likes of Jan Bakelants, Petr Vakoc, Laurens ten Dam, Eli Iserbyt, Laurens Sweeck, Gianni and Florian Vermeersch, Tim Merlier, Daniel Oss, Alessandro De Marchi, Thibau Nys, Jasper Stuyven himself and the Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas all attempting to become European Champion.
In the end, it was Stuyven who took victory, attacking with just over 20km to go, and in the end winning comfortably ahead of Tim Merlier in second and Paul Voss in third with both Vermeersch's rounding out the top 5.
