In the rain, only eight riders formed the first group when there were still ten kilometers to go. Finally, the Deceuninck - Quick-Step team was able to play off their numerical superiority. Set seven kilometers from the finish Yves Lampaert his attack, which could no longer be leveled. And the Belgian team also took second place in the person of Tim Declerq. fourth behind Tim Merlier (Alpecin – Fenix) became the German John Degenkolb (Lotto – Soudal). The Dutch champion could not intervene in the fight for victory. Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix). He fell about 15 kilometers from the finish.

At the end of the 156,3-kilometre one-day race, everyone cheered Jolien D'hoore (Boels – Dolmans) but too early. The Belgian was reinstated by the jury after she Lorraine Wiebes (Sunweb) pushed against the gang on the left-hand side of the lane. So the victory was subsequently awarded to the Dutchwoman. The German Lisa Brennauer (Ceratizit-WNT) moves up to second place. The Boels - Dolmans team was unfortunately - but rightly - denied the perfect farewell.
