2014 Scheldeprijs (HC)
(Grand Prix de l'Escaut), Belgium
102nd edition: Wednesday, April 9, 2014
Scheldeprijs podium history | 2013 edition | 2015 edition | Startlist with backnumbers |
Antwerpen - Schoten, 204.9 km.
The Race: Marcel Kittel has done it! He is the first rider to have won the Scheldeprijs three years in a row. This is Kittel's fourth victory this year after his three Tour of Dubai stage wins.
An early break survived until the final couple of kilometers. Luke Rowe (Sky) tried a flyer and survived for a few kilometers dangling just off the front of the break.
There was no way the sprinter's teams were going to let this race slip away from them and the pack was together to contest the race finale. Marcel Kittel's sprint win was authoritative. He left the others well behind.
