Overview
- Evenepoel, who took the Dutch classic Sunday, edged defending champion Mattias Skjelmose in a two-man sprint.
- He attacked on the second ascent of the Cauberg about 22 kilometers from the line on a 257 km route packed with short climbs.
- Benoît Cosnefroy won the sprint of the chasers for third, with Romain Grégoire fourth after driving earlier attacks.
- Red Bull-BORA-Hansgrohe set a hard pace that kept their leader at the front and set up the winning move.
- Attention now turns to Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday and to Liège-Bastogne-Liège, where Evenepoel is slated to face Tadej Pogacar.
