Van der Poel and Wout van Aert sprinted to the line with under 200 metres left and Van der Poel beat his former Cyclo-cross rival by less than half a wheel’s length

Dutch Mathieu van der Poel of Alpecin-Fenix and Belgian Wout Van Aert compete during the Tour of Flanders cycling race on Oct. 18, 2020.Dutchman Mathieu van der Poel beat Belgian rider Wout van Aert in a photo finish to win the the Tour of Flanders for the first time on Sunday, while contender Julian Alaphilippe crashed out near the end after hitting a motorbike.

Alaphilippe was in contention until he hit a motorbike 35 kilometres from the end. The French rider was behind Van Aert and Van Der Poel when he appeared not to see the motorbike slowing down to his right. It features up to 19 short but punishing climbs — such as the Paterberg and Koppenberg — and is one of the two classics with cobblestone sections along with Paris-Roubaix, called off this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Given the current health situation in Belgium, we as an organisation call on you to follow the race at home,” read a brief statement on the race’s website. “It was therefore decided not to release any information about the course.”
