| Peter Sagan spent a lot of time in the ill-fated break which cost him in the sprint finish: "It was a beautiful and exciting Gent-Wevelgem but a very hard one! We were going over 50km/h in the first two hours and when the strong winds created splits, I decided to take the opportunity and jump in the big break, together with Pascal and Rudi. They did a great job, worked hard and when we were left just four of us in the group, I gave my best to help stay ahead of the peloton. It wasn't possible and in the finale I didn't have the legs to go for the bunch sprint." – Peter Sagan | share this photo |
 |
| Alexander KRISTOFF (NOR/UAE TEAM EMIRATES) powered through the wind and was clearly the sprinter with the most left. 2nd John Degenkolb (Ger/Trek-Segafredo), 3rd Oliver Naesen (Bel/Ag2R La Mondiale), 4th Mathieu Van Der Poel (Ned/Corendon-Circus) | share this photo |

| “I remained at the front of the group with Gaviria.“ Kristoff said. “At 10 kilometres out, we spoke and agreed that I would make this sprint and try to win. In the sprint, I was the strongest and that’s even if I was a little bit tired but all the riders at the front of the group raced hard and fast from the start. I pulled out a big win that carries a lot of weight in the spring classics. | share this photo |
