Justine Ghekière (AG Sudal Insurance) won the female race in a sprint with Fien Van Eynde (Fenix ​​Deceuninck). Third place returned to Fleur Moors of the Lidl Trek team after winning the sprint of the favorite group.
Male race
All eyes were turned to Wout Van Aert, a big favorite of the race but the latter had to give up a few hours before departure due to an illness, making the race even more open. No risk taken by the Belgian less than a week before the Tour de France.
