sprint on the final 400 metres which had no reply from rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Groenewegen (Unibet Rose Rockets) trailed in second while Gerben Thijssen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) took third ahead of

Wessel Mouris (Unibet Rose Rockets) remains in second place, Laporte in third and Merlier&#8217;s teammate Ethan Hayter in fourth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Once at the flamme rouge, Soudal-QuickStep went into formation for Merlier on the right side of the course.

On the approach to Ede for the final loop, the gap began to fade as the peloton sensed time to position their fast men.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e24a187c-c7dd-11f1-a089-75ebcf192fa2\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Johan Dorussen of Metec-SOLARWATT p\/b Mantel, Rick Ottema of EEW-VDK Cyclingteam and Luke Verburg of Azerion-Villa Valkenburg compete in the breakaway <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e24a1912-c7dd-11f1-aca0-dfe3f19a310b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The breakaway trio scooped up all the bonuses at the intermediate sprint with 24km to go, but the peloton was only 15 seconds back with 15km to go. A wall of sprint teams, led by Soudal-QuickStep, Picnic PostNL and Unibet Rose Rockets, spread across the road and charged from behind to end the breakaway with 11km to go.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As the shadows began to stretch across the road with the sun beginning to fade in late afternoon, the peloton seemed to settle down on the next four kilometres heading back into the city limits. Visma-Lease a Bike edged to the front to support Christophe Laporte alongside Soudal-QuickStep while Unibet Rose Rockets held position on an outside line for Wessel Mouris with Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9 sending riders up. Lidl-Trek was there for race leader Jakob S\u00f6derqvist, biding their time as the finish neared.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It wasn&#8217;t until 2km to go that the wide procession began to fracture, Soudal-QuickStep amping up the action. This straight run led to a defining sharp left-hand corner onto Arnhemseweg for the final 400 metres.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">On that final corner, Merlier used the slipstream of his teammate Bert Van Lerberghe to vault from sixth position to first as he flew down the straightaway for the victory.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\"

sprint on the final 400 metres which had no reply from rivals.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Groenewegen (Unibet Rose Rockets) trailed in second while Gerben Thijssen (Alpecin-Premier Tech) took third ahead of

On the approach to Ede for the final loop, the gap began to fade as the peloton sensed time to position their fast men.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout kiosq-b\" data-bordeaux-image-check id=\"elk-e24a187c-c7dd-11f1-a089-75ebcf192fa2\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\">\n<source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/yXropmmMHyQFJ5kx6cD7A8-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Johan Dorussen of Metec-SOLARWATT p\/b Mantel, Rick Ottema of EEW-VDK Cyclingteam and Luke Verburg of Azerion-Villa Valkenburg compete in the breakaway <\/span><span class=\"credit\">(Image credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-e24a1912-c7dd-11f1-aca0-dfe3f19a310b\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">The breakaway trio scooped up all the bonuses at the intermediate sprint with 24km to go, but the peloton was only 15 seconds back with 15km to go. A wall of sprint teams, led by Soudal-QuickStep, Picnic PostNL and Unibet Rose Rockets, spread across the road and charged from behind to end the breakaway with 11km to go.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">As the shadows began to stretch across the road with the sun beginning to fade in late afternoon, the peloton seemed to settle down on the next four kilometres heading back into the city limits. Visma-Lease a Bike edged to the front to support Christophe Laporte alongside Soudal-QuickStep while Unibet Rose Rockets held position on an outside line for Wessel Mouris with Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9 sending riders up. Lidl-Trek was there for race leader Jakob S\u00f6derqvist, biding their time as the finish neared.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">It wasn&#8217;t until 2km to go that the wide procession began to fracture, Soudal-QuickStep amping up the action. This straight run led to a defining sharp left-hand corner onto Arnhemseweg for the final 400 metres.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">On that final corner, Merlier used the slipstream of his teammate Bert Van Lerberghe to vault from sixth position to first as he flew down the straightaway for the victory.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"article-body__section kiosq-b\"

Visma-Lease a Bike edged to the front to support Christophe Laporte alongside Soudal-QuickStep while Unibet Rose Rockets held position on an outside line for Wessel Mouris with Lotto-Intermarch\u00e9 sending riders up.
