Race report
The riders take it easy for almost 50 kilometres. Then Harm Vanhoucke, Kobe Goossens, and Maxim Van Gils jump off the front. The first two push on together until the intermediate sprint. Then Vanhoucke stops his efforts, which inspires Goossens to do the same.

An uneventful race end with an explosive bunch sprint. Jasper Philipsen finishes off a perfect lead out by bis teammates, while Biniam Girmay and Pascal Ackermann come home in second and third.

The GC remains unchanged: Tadej Pogacar retains the yellow jersey.
