Antwerp - Schoten, 204.0 km
Alexander Kristoff wins the 2015 Scheldeprijs
The Race: Mr. Kristoff is certainly enjoying a wonderful start to the 2015 season. He has already won eleven races this year, including the blockbuster triumph at the Ronde van Vlaanderen on Sunday. And now, he has taken the 2015 Scheldeprijs.
The Scheldeprijs followed the usual pattern of races this season. Seven riders escaped early on and still had a minute with twenty kilometers to go. Most of the break was then absorbed by the field, but break members Huub Duyn and Laurens de Vreese managed to stay away until the race ramped up the speed for the final sprint.
And, sadly, there was a big crash just as things were starting to ramp up for the sprint. Alexander Kristoff, glued to the FDJ sprint train, was unaffected by the carnage.
Next big single-day race, Paris-Roubaix.
Complete Results:
204 kilometers raced at an average speed of 45.305 km/hr
