Gijssels Grand Victory

The 15th edition of Tour of Flanders raced 227 km from Gent to Wetteren.

The six rider breakaway rode onto the streets of Wetteren to contest the sprint. Dutchman Cesar Bogaert committed a mistake by leading out the sprint for an advertising banner not the finish line banner. Taking advantage of the mistake Romain Gijssels sprinted past the tiring Bogaert to earn the victory.
