La settima edizione del Grote Prijs Van Looy, la prima senza il grande Rik Van Looy in vita, è stata disputata oggi sulla distanza di 185,2 chilometri da Westerlo a Herentals. Bel colpo del danese Mads Andersen (Airtox Carl Ras) che anticipa i velocisti sulle strade insidiose tipiche fiamminghe: alle sue spalle, il tedesco Tobias Muller (Wanty Nippo Reuz) precede nello sprint del gruppo lo spagnolo Manuel Peñalver, che manda quindi sul podio la Polti VisitMalta. Queste le parole del suo direttore sportivo Orlando Maini: “In una corsa di categoria 1.2 ma esigente, con tanto di pavè, i ragazzi hanno applicato alla perfezione il piano gara di portare Peñalver in buona posizione nei chilometri finali. Tanto di cappello al vincitore Andersen, ma lato nostro ci godiamo la soddisfazione per un velocista dalle ottime qualità umane che mostra di essere competitivo anche quando dev’essere lui a finalizzare.”
