ProTeam Fourth place for Brent Van Moer in Omloop het Nieuwsblad

As expected, the Flemish hills and cobbled sections delivered a tough race in which the wind was a very decisive factor. Brent Van Moers great legs ultimately guided him to an impressive fourth place in the Omloop het Nieuwsblad. “There was a strong wind near the end, but I had a sense that my legs were feeling strong. So when it came down to the sprint at the end, I grabbed my chance. Fourth was the best result possible today” says a happy Brent Van Moer.

Arnaud had some bad luck and was forced to switch bikes, which caused him to chase the peloton in order to rejoin. A crash at the foot of the Molenberg caused a bigger delay, forcing him to chase once again and expend valuable energy. “Before the Eikenberg, I was already struggling a bit and because of the crash at the foot of the Molenberg the gap to the peloton became even bigger. But in the end we can still say that we had a decent day with Brent securing a fourth spot."
