Kevin Pauwels 3 out of 3 in the GVA-Trophy
The fast course in sunny Hasselt didn’t offer much room for a selection up front during the first skirmishes. It was always going to come down to a sprint although some incidents helped to create a smaller lead group with Pauwels, Stybar, Nys and Meeusen.
Pauwels, on his Ridley X-Night, led the group in the final stages. He was able to fight off Stybar in the final sprint. This was his third victory in three GVA-Trophy races.
