Here's what race winner Greg van Avermaet's BMC team reported:
Greg Van Avermaet has kicked off the Belgian Classics with winning form, clinching victory at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad today in a nail-biting sprint to the line. It is Van Avermaet’s first win of the season, and he couldn’t be happier to do it on home soil he said. “It was really important for me to win the first Classics race of the season. I’m happy that I could finally win a Classic like this because I was close a few times here and I know how hard it is to win a Classic in the springtime.”
“You never know how many victories you’re going to have so I’m of course going to enjoy this one and hopefully I’ll have more to come. Beating Sagan in a sprint like this only gives me more confidence.”
“My main goal is still the Tour of Flanders and to have this win already in my pocket is the best way to start the season.”
A 12 rider breakaway attacked early in the 200km opening race of the Spring Classics, gaining 5’30 on the peloton as they reached the second half of the race.
With 57km to go Luke Rowe (Team SKY) attacked with Van Avermaet immediately in pursuit. The pair eventually formed a small group of four riders who would go on to catch the breakaway and battle it out for the win.
Van Avermaet edged out Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) and Tiesj Benoot (Lotto-Soudal) in the sprint to the line.
“I’ve always believed in my ability to outsprint the fast guys especially after a long, hard race. When I was second and third I was always saying to myself that I could beat them when things go perfectly. And today’s victory confirmed this I think. You have to keep believing in yourself and one day it will come true.”
It was a day of elation with Van Avermaet’s win but also disappointment for Philippe Gilbert, Floris Gerts and Jempy Drucker who were involved in a nasty crash at the 50km to go mark.
The trio were forced to abandon and Drucker and Gerts were taken to hospital to have X-Rays.
BMC Racing Team Doctor Dario Spinelli said “At this stage we have no further news of their condition. As soon as we know the results of their X-Rays we will be able to provide an update and assess the next steps.”
And here's second-pace Peter Sagan's Tinkoff team report:
Heading into the day as one of the pre-race favourites, World Champion Peter Sagan did not disappoint in Belgium at the opening cobbled classic of the season with a strong display just missing out on victory. At the end of 200.8km of racing, Peter, with number 1 on his back, was out paced in the kick to the line after over 50km at the front of the race in the day’s winning breakaway.
“For this time of the season I felt pretty good,” said Peter after the finish. “It’s one month now since my last race, and I’ve just been preparing and training in Sierra Nevada. It was a hard race today and in the finale I felt like in one or two weeks I’ll be better. But for now, it’s already a good sign.”
Sport Director Lars Michaelsen added: “I think the race played out very much like we had expected. We had a morning breakaway and we kept our guys fresh for the part of the race where it all happened.”
The racing kicked off over dry roads in usual fashion, with an early breakaway of 12 establishing itself at the front of the race and quickly establishing a gap. After just 20km of racing the escapees had over five minutes advantage, with the Tinkoff riders concentrating their efforts behind on protecting Peter ahead of the day’s difficulties.
The day’s decisive moment came on the Taaienberg with just over 55km to race when the winning move was formed. Reacting to a strong attack over the short, sharp climb, Peter made his move and jumped across to a small split forming a four-man group in pursuit of the leaders.
Quickly pulling clear of the peloton, the gap soon grew with the addition of those still out front. Working well together, the advantage remained at around a minute before the group was reduced to seven with 25km to go.
Peter piled on the pressure on the final cobbled section of the day with 20km to go, further splitting the group and forming the five riders that would contest the finish together. On the run in to Gent the peloton started to make inroads, closing down the gap but the leaders had enough of an advantage to contest the finish amongst themselves. With the five leaders staying together, Greg van Avermaet (BMC) led out the sprint on the uphill drag to the line and despite pushing hard to come around, Peter could not make up the ground with a runner’s up spot the outcome for the World Champion in his first European outing of the season.
Michaelsen continued: “We saw some nice team work to try and bring Peter in an ideal position on Taaienberg. That's when the team showed they were really strong together and that Peter Sagan is a champion. I think that nearly going for the win, more than a month after his last race at Tour de San Luis, shows Peter's strength as a rider. I consider the result of the race positive. I'm happy with the strategy we had and with the fact the team followed it. In my opinion, if Peter had more races in his legs he would have probably won.”
“The break went a bit early,” Peter added. “We worked well together but in the finale I saw the gap was coming down so I made two or three accelerations on the cobbles and this took it out of me. I started to feel the cramps in the final kilometres and Greg is in better shape than me with a few more race days. But there are more important races to come."
“Also, it was great to race here in the rainbow jersey – it’s a great race with a special atmosphere.”
Tomorrow the team heads to the second in a double header of Belgian races at Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne for a second shot at victory.
