Filippo Pozzato (Katusha) put up a brave defence of his E3 Prijs Vlaanderen – Harelbeke crown but came up short on Saturday, finishing a creditable but ultimately disappointing fourth. Pozzato had looked strong earlier in the race and when the peloton hit the decisive last 80 kilometres he was never far from the front on most of the climbs.
