They departed from Brakel’s Market Square in the afternoon for a 203.6 km route, featuring no less than 16 climbs along the way. The Moskesstraat (500 meters of cobbles at 7.2%) and the Smeysberg (600 meters at 7.9%), which was the stage for the 2021 World Championships, were among the highlights on the route.

After several attacks and counter-attacks, the race culminated in a sprint involving 6 cyclists who managed to break away, leading by about 15 seconds from the main group. Mathieu Van der Poel demonstrated that the rainbow jersey is in good hands, winning with relative ease.
