Team Jumbo-Visma (Belgium) - Press Release: Wout van Aert has written the classic Gent-Wevelgem to his name. By being in the right echelon early on with the very strong Nathan Van Hooydonck, the Fleming was able to sprint to the prestigious victory on pure power. It is the eleventh victory of the season for Team Jumbo-Visma.

In the opening hours it immediately became clear that the wind was going to play a role. Team Jumbo-Visma rode attentively from the front and had two men in the first echelon with Van Hooydonck and Van Aert. The early breakaway was caught and together with the connected echelon went to the West Flemish hill zone. On the hills and plugstreets, the chasing groups did get closer, but never returned to the front of the race. Van Aert impressed on the Kemmelberg, but his companions and Van Hooydonck kept up with him. Partly due to the great work of the sublime super domestique, Van Aert could sprint to victory in the streets of Wevelgem.
