Kielich wins a chaotic Antwerp Port Epic
Timo Kielich (Alpecun-Deceuninck) won the Antwerp Port Epic after a dramatic day of racing. The Belgian bested Rasmus Wallin (Uno-X Mobility) at the line with Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quick-Step) taking third on three seconds later.
Crashes on the cobbles took a few notables out of the race, including Arnaud De Lie (Lotto), while a large portion of the peloton took a wrong turn near the midway point of the day, leading to a brief neutralization to get things back on track. Kielich and Wallin attacked with just over 30 km to go and held on to battle for the win, with Kielich coming out on top.
