Tim Merlier mette la sua firma sul classico Grand Prix Samyn che si è corso sulle strade del Belgio. Il portacolori della Alpecin Fenix, pilotato benissimo da un grande Van Der Poel, ha rimontato il norvegese Tiller per poi batterlo negli ultimi 50 metri. Terzo posto per il bravo Andrea Pasqualon, quarto Vanmarcke, quinto Hofstetter.

Tantissimi tentativi di fuga nella prima ora, percorsa a oltre 44 orari di media. Alla fine la fuga è partita con Willems (Sport Vlaanderen Baloise), Rosskopf (Rally Cycling), Van Schip (Beat Cycling) e Leijnse (Team DSM Continental), mentre Marchand (Tarteletto Isorex), che era partito con loro, è stato il primo a staccarsi.

Dopo il ricongiungimento, a 55 chilometri dalla conclusione, si sgancia un gruppo numeroso con tante squadre rappresentate e soprattutto con Mark Cavendish. Nel finale ci provano Van Der Poel, Wisniowski, Senechal, Vanmarcke e Van Poppel ma il gruppo fa buona guardia e torna sui battistrada ai 1500 metri dall'arrivo. Volata e primo successo stagionale per Tim Merlier.
