Weather at the finish city of De Panne at 12:50 PM, local time: 10C (50F), partly cloudy, with the win drom the northeast at 18 km/hr (11 mph). There is just a 2% chance of rain.
The race: Early in the race Victor Campenaerts (Visma | Lease a Bike) abandoned. By the time the race was half finished there was a total of six abandons.
Here's the report from winner Juan Sebastian Molano's UAE Team Emirates-XRG:
Sebastian Molano took the biggest one-day victory of his career in Belgium, clinching victory in a photo finish with Jonathan Milan (Lidl-Trek) at the end of the 195.6-kilometre Classic Brugge-De Panne.
The Emirati team were active throughout the day with Antonio Morgado stretching his legs ahead of the weekends cobbled classics to infiltrate the early breakaway which would stay clear until inside -10km to go.
Crashes would play a big role in the final section of the race, with many of the sprinting favourites hitting the tarmac on the hectic run-in. Molano would emerge as one of the survivors and seized his opportunity with a massive early sprint at 500m to go and holding off to take his first win of the year.
Here's a video screen grab of Juan Sebastian Molano winning the race.
Molano: “I’m very happy. This finale is really really dangerous and fast. After the last corner I was in a good position after the small road. I tried, I looked at 500m, took the corner fast, and made a long sprint. I looked back and nobody was following, so I went full gas to the final. I had to dig very deep and just managed to hold on. It’s my first win of the season and also my biggest victory in a one day race so it’s really special. There were many crashes today and I hope everyone is okay, it was really crazy out there today.”
