Sunday, May 27: 5th & Final Stage, Landen - Tongeren, 168.4 km

Bryan Coquard (far right) wins the final stage.

The race: Here's the stage report from overall winner Jens Keukeleire's Team Lotto-Soudal.

The ultimate stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour took the riders from Landen to Tongeren on an undulating course. There, three local laps of 13.8 kilometres were scheduled before the Baloise Belgium Tour would come to an end. Lotto Soudal once again delivered a fine lead-out. André Greipel accelerated powerfully, but he timed his sprint a bit too early. That way, Frenchman Coquard could sprint to victory. He beat his compatriot Laporte and the Belgian Jans. Jens Keukeleire’s overall victory was never in any danger. He wins, just like last year, the Baloise Belgium Tour. Teammate Jelle Vanendert finished in second position in the general classification. André Greipel secured the New Lotto points jersey by sprinting to an eight place today. Lotto Soudal can look back on an extremely successful Baloise Belgium Tour.

Jens Keukeleire: “It definitely wasn’t an easy last day. Especially in the beginning of the race, we had to keep an eye on the dangerous guys in the general classification and not let them slip into a breakaway. We also had to stay concentrated and avoid crashes with the heavy rainfall in the end. Luckily, the rain came pouring down only five kilometres from the finish.”

“Last year’s win with the national team was special because I hadn’t expected to be able to win. This year was different, but also special to me. I had to miss a major part of the Spring Classics due to illness. I could not have imagined a better way to start the second part of the season.”

“I definitely didn’t come to this race thinking it would be easy to win. But everything went very smoothly this week. I did a good time trial and during the Ardennes stage yesterday, I joined the early breakaway. Jelle Wallays, who was also part of that front group, was really strong. In the finale, I took the initiative together with Jelle Vanendert.”

Saturday, May 26: Stage 4, Wanze - Wanze, 147.3 km

Jelle Vanendert wins stage four.

The race: Here's the stage report from Lotto-Soudal.

Today, the penultimate stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour was scheduled in and around Wanze and was ridden on a hilly course. It was Lotto Soudal who dominated the race. Jelle Vanendert attacked on the last climb of the day from a group of five riders including teammate Jens Keukeleire. He soloed to victory and Keukeleire put the cherry on the cake. He beat Smith in the sprint for second place and took over the leader’s jersey from Frenchman Laporte. Vanendert claimed the second spot in the general classification, fifteen seconds down on Keukeleire.

Two local laps of about 75 kilometres including each time six climbs had to make the fourth stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour a real spectacle. And so they did, because with over 100 kilometres to go, a group of favourites managed to escape the peloton. Three Lotto Soudal-riders were represented at the front: Jens Keukeleire, Jelle Vanendert and Jelle Wallays. Later, several riders joined but it had already been clear that the select group would battle for the stage victory.

Jens Keukeleire anticipated at 45 kilometres in order to begin the steep Mur de Huy with an advantage. He was joined by Martijn Budding and Edward Dunbar. That choice proved to be the right one because on the Mur de Huy, he had to let go some riders but was able to return only moments later. Finally, five riders managed to go clear at twenty kilometres from the finish line. Dunbar, Keukeleire, Smith, Turgis and Vanendert quickly got a considerable advantage over the chasing riders.

Lotto Soudal used the numerical superiority to its advantage. Jelle Vanendert attacked on the last climb of the day and no one was able to answer his acceleration. He quickly got an advantage of ten seconds and extended it consequently. Vanendert managed to hold off the chasers and soloed to his second career win! Jens Keukeleire beat Dion Smith in the sprint for second place and is also the new leader in the general classification. Tomorrow, the Baloise Belgium Tour concludes with a 166 kilometres long stage between Landen and Tongeren.

Jelle Vanendert: “I am very happy with this stage victory. We were really strong as a team and we not only won the stage, but Jens Keukeleire also takes the leader’s jersey. That makes our day even more successful. The stage just went perfectly for us.”

“It wasn’t an easy day due to the heat, but I felt good. I had some energy left uphill at the Golden Kilometre, but some flat kilometres were still to follow after that, which was less evident. I knew that I would need more than twenty seconds advantage before the last descent.”

“I have been performing at a high level during the whole season and I am very happy that I managed to take my second career victory today. I just returned from two weeks of training in the Sierra Nevada to prepare for the Dauphiné and the Tour. This week was really important to me to get some race rhythm and speed in the legs. Yesterday, I felt good during the time trial, but I could not yet go flat out. However, I could already feel the power in my legs. Today, everything went perfectly. We had the numerical superiority in the front group and I felt strong. As a non-sprinter, it’s difficult to win a lot of races, so that’s why I am very happy with this stage win.”

Jens Keukeleire: “With one stage to go, I am in a better position than last year. We performed strongly as a team today and we will be confident at tomorrow’s start to put the cherry on the cake.”

“I had a difficult moment during the second ascent of the Mur de Huy. I already struggled on the first climb of the Mur the Huy, so I decided to attack before the second passage in order to have some margin. After I got caught, I chose to ride at my own pace and I only had to focus on Grivko for the general classification. Jelle Vanendert told me that he felt really strong and wanted to go for the stage victory.”

“It was nice to ride with such a team today. Jelle Wallays put every rider of the breakaway in the hurt locker as he rode at a brutal pace. Jelle Vanendert looked very strong and his win was certainly a well-deserved one. I am very happy with my performance after I missed most of the Spring Classic due to illness. Because I had just joined a new team, that did hurt. Now, I feel very good and I hope to continue my current performances towards the Tour.”

Thursday, May 24: Stage 2, Lochristi - Knokke Heist, 150.4 km

André Greipel (in dark blue jersey) makes it two in a row.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner and GC leader André Greipel's Lotto-Soudal team.

The second stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour took the riders in 150 kilometres from Lochristi to Knokke-Heist. André Greipel was very familiar with today’s slightly uphill finish. In the past, he sprinted three times to the victory in Knokke-Heist. He added a fourth victory today. He beat, on a flat tire, Dutchman Wippert and Belgian Merlier in the sprint. Greipel also extends his lead in the general classification due to the bonus seconds he gained today.

Five riders formed the breakaway of the day. Jacobs, Janssens, Hermans, Ruijgh and Warner never got much advantage though. Just like yesterday, Jelle Wallays took the initiative at the front of the pack and controlled the advantage of the five escapees. Somewhat later in the race, he was assisted by a couple of riders from Team Astana.

Two local laps were scheduled in and around Knokke-Heist. In those laps, Aqua Blue tried to form an echelon. They seemed to succeed, but eventually a big group of riders could return. The breakaway got caught at around ten kilometres to go. Some riders tried to escape the predicted bunch sprint, but the sprint teams kept everything together. A few kilometres from the line, the Lotto Soudal train moved to the front and it was Jasper De Buyst who delivered the perfect lead-out. André Greipel sprinted, on a flat tire, to his second victory in two days time. He beat Wippert and Merlier with a perfectly timed sprint.

André Greipel: “I’m very happy with this second stage win! It’s never an easy sprint here in Knokke-Heist as it’s a slightly uphill finish, but I timed perfectly and I had a good lead-out of course! I felt my opponents coming, but I could hold them off. It’s always great when a plan comes together. Although that didn’t happen without obstacles. I slipped in the last corner and I noticed I was getting a puncture. I could only hope I could hold on to the finish and luckily I did. I managed to stay on the wheel of Jasper De Buyst, who did once again a strong lead-out for me.”

“It’s wonderful to have a team behind you and teammates who you can trust blindly. Marcel Sieberg for example always makes the right decisions in the run-up to the sprint. Like yesterday, everyone had his part in the victory. Jelle Wallays did again a huge amount of pulling in the bunch.”

“I’m not in top shape yet after coming back from my collarbone fracture, but on the other hand I feel very fresh. That’s the positive side of missing out on the spring races. I’ve won ten stages at the Baloise Belgium Tour and of course it would be great to add another one to my list of victories, we’ll see if that will still happen this year. I’m leading the overall classification, but Saturday’s Ardennes stage is really hard. That stage will be decisive.”

Wednesday, May 23: Stage 1, Buggenhout - Buggenhout, 178.8 km

André Greipel clearly brings good form to the Tour of Belgium.

The race: Here's the report from winner André Greipel's Lotto-Soudal team.

After winning two stages at 4 Jours de Dunkerque, André Greipel continued his winning streak in the Baloise Belgium Tour. During the opening stage in Buggenhout, he finished off a genuine team performance in the sprint. The German beat the Italian Ricardo Minali and the Belgian Tim Merlier.

The first stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour in and around Buggenhout was with its flat course a real treat for the sprinters. Despite the furious pace in the first hour of the race – in which 47 kilometres were covered – six riders managed to escape. Aimé De Gendt, Dunn, Carboni, Molly, Boros and Bouvry never got much advantage though. It was mainly Lotto Soudal rider Jelle Wallays who lead the peloton and who controlled the advantage of the escapees. Later on, he was assisted by Team Astana and Vital Concept. The peloton eventually caught the breakaway with nine kilometres to go. In the final kilometres, Daan Soete tried to escape the peloton but he was caught at the final kilometre mark. Lotto Soudal delivered a perfect lead-out and André Greipel rewarded the hard work of the team. He won the sprint ahead of Ricardo Minali and Tim Merlier.

André Greipel: “We wanted to win a stage, and we have already achieved that goal by now. I have to thank the whole team, everybody played its part in today’s victory. Especially Jelle Wallays did an amazing effort today. During the sprint preparations, I could stay on the wheels of De Buyst, Maes and Sieberg. There was some headwind at the finish so we had to time our effort really well, which we did.”

“A sprinter is only as good as the team in front of him. We have to use every race now to practise our sprint train and to trust each other towards the Tour de France. Tomorrow’s finish in Knokke-Heist should suit me as well, but I know it won’t be easy to get in a good position for the sprint. We will see what tomorrow brings.”

Two other races were scheduled today for Lotto Soudal. Jens Debusschere sprinted to a fifth place in a relatively short but hard stage between Riva del Garda and Iseo. Elia Viviani won the stage. Tosh Van der Sande left the race due to illness. In the second stage of the Tour des Fjords, Michael Albasini won in a reduced bunch sprint. There was no top ten result for Lotto Soudal.
