Alexander Kristoff (Norway / UAE - Team Emirates) - Giacomo Nizzolo (Italy / Team Qhubeka ASSOS) in the chase finished 6th and 15th respectively, +26share this photo

Nils POLITT (GER/BORA-HANSGROHE) instigating a small chase group finished 38th + 26s: "I have to say that the first race after our quarantine was actually harder than we thought it would be. However, the team was always in a good position at the key points in the race. I attempted to get a good gap on the Taaienberg, but unfortunately the cooperation within the group was not quite there, and then on the penultimate ascent I missed the group in front. Perhaps it's because I invested a bit too much before, but in the end, I rode a solid race and I think I'm now able head towards the Tour of Flanders on Sunday with a positive outlook."share this photo
A strong performance by Nils Politt and his German team Bora - Hansgrohe considering they where under COVID-19 quarantine for the last six days and limited to indoor training on rollers

"It was a stressful week and we only got the green light to start at the last moment. Today we rode almost 100 km full throttle and we were at a bit of a disadvantage because our guys were sitting in the hotel for six days and could only train on the rollers. We were also a bit unlucky, because Pascal had a mechanical and tried to catch up again, but that ended up costing him a lot of energy. We then had Nils, Daniel and Marcus in front and we were trying to fight for a top-10 finish, but in the end, it didn't quite work out. Now we're looking ahead to Sunday and will see what we can achieve there." - Jean-Pierre Heynderickx, Sports Director
