Less than a week since his victory at Milan-San Remo, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) once again stole the show at E3 Saxo Classic with a solo victory into Harelbeke.
The Dutchman made his winning attack out of a five-rider breakaway over the Oude Kwaremont and slowly pushed out his lead throughout the final 40km of the race, over the Karnemelkbeekstraat and the Tiegemberg, crossing the line with 1:07 ahead of runner-up Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) and 2:05 ahead of third-placed Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).
