Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) was disqualified from Sunday's Gent-Wevelgem after the race officials reviewed footage from the final three kilometres.

Reusser won the 2023 edition of Gent-Wevelgem. This year she finished in the 40-rider peloton behind the winner and teammate Lorena Wiebes but was later relegated and shown as disqualified in the official results.
