The opening round of the Bpost Bank Trophy in Ronse, Belgium proved to be yet another happy hunting ground for 21-year-old Wout Van Aert (Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace). He managed to burst away from Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Napoleon Games), Lars van der Haar (Giant-Alpecin) and Sven Nys (Crelan-AA Drink) in the final lap to take victory. It was the fifth consecutive win for Van Aert. The young Belgian now leads all the major cyclo-cross series.
