Date:

the dutch Fabio Jacobsen (Quick Step Apha Vinyl), European road champion, imposed the law of the strongest in the sprint to win the 106th edition of Flemish Championshiprace held with a start and finish in Koolskamp,​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​west​​​​West​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​west

Jakobsen (Gorinchem, 26 years old) gave no chance to his rivals in the finishing straight and raised his arms with authority, setting a time of 4:21:13, at an average speed of 45 km /h. beat the Australian Caleb Evan (Lotto Soudal) and the Dutch Dylan Groenewegen (BikeExchange), the latter is the cyclist who in 2020 intervened in the serious crash of the European champion at the Tour of Poland 2020.

The Spaniard Jon Aberasturi (Trek Segafredo) fought for the victory, but the cyclist from Vitoria had to settle for eighth place.

A test held at a high speed on an almost flat 15 km circuit that had to be completed in 15 laps. A breakaway of 5 men was formed in which Movistar played a leading role, as one of his men, the Swiss Johan Jacobs, entered the expedition.

The peloton held the break and broke it 13 km from the finish line, despite the resistance of Jacobs, the last survivor. The large group began maneuvers to approach the finish line, with the complication of traveling on narrow roads where the battle for placement was increasing.

The teams that most need the UCI points, due to the saving of the category and the need for points, are seen at the head of the pack, especially Lotto Soudal, who wants to play at speed with the Australian who Caleb Ewan.

Arkea and Cofidis also raced, but when pushed, when the group was out of control, the final straight was the takeoff runway for Fabio Jakobsen, who attacked from a distance, quickly closing the debate. He was superior, thus the 13th victory of the season and the 39th of his professional life.

Already a great race legend, with 5 stage wins in the Vuelta, 1 in the Tour and wins in classics such as Kuurne-Brussels.Kuurne. At the European Championships in Munich, he wore the jersey that identified him as the champion.

Jakobsen overtook Belgian Jasper Philipsen, winner in 2021, on the career record.
