Niki Terpstra (Quick Step Floors) solo's to E3 Harelbelke victory 2018

Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors) solo's to Record Bank E3 Harelbeke one day classic race, Belgium.


Terpstra soloed to victory after initially getting away on the Taaienberg with Lampaert with more than 70 kilometres remaining.

While Onto the N60 highway, the duo ahead now have less of an advantage. 38 seconds to Van Avermaet, 55 seconds to Sagan's group, but the peloton behind is reforming on the wide, smooth highway.

This is a big psychological win for Quick-Step Floors as the holy week of the cobbled Classics begins.


They again showed their strength in depth and now everyone else will be under pressure to win Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday and of course the Tour of Flanders on Easter Sunday.

Thank you for

keeping with us from the commentary office. See you again on Sunday for Gent - Wevelgem.

Bye bye!!!
