Van Keirsbulck Bridges to Breakaway, Attacks to Win Stage
Omega Pharma - Quick-Step Cycling Team rider Guillaume Van Keirsbulck continued his strong season at the final stage of Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen on Sunday. The young Belgian bridged to an escape group that included two of his teammates, Andrew Fenn and Julian Alaphilippe, with less than 23km to go in the second stage.
Van Keirsbulck was just 14 sec back in the overall, in 6th place, going into the final stage. Sensing the possibility of a double victory, he attacked with about 5km to go. He was able to hold his advantage all the way to the finish line, sealing the 15th win (three disciplines) for OPQS by taking the stage. He finished 2nd in the GC to Gert Joeaar (Cofidis), who held onto his advantage for that victory.
Van Keirsbulck also won the jersey for best young rider.
Hugo Houle (AG2R La Mondiale) was the only Canadian participating and finished 105th overall.
