Michael Van Staeyen (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator) won the 20th edition of the Memorial Rik Van Steenbergen, outsprinting Robbie McEwen (Katusha) and Jurgen Roelandts (Omega Pharma-Lotto) in the bunch gallop to the line.
A three-man break comprised of Klaas Lodewyck (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator), François Jurgen (Palmans-Cras) and Enrico Peruffo (Carmiooro NGC) stayed away for much of the 195.9km event, but were swept up by the peloton on the final 8.4km finishing circuit, covered six times in the race finale.
Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil Pro Cycling Team) attacked in a solo bid for victory, but Team Katusha brought him back and led the peloton through to the finish in support of its sprinter Robbie McEwen. The veteran Australian, however, was narrowly beaten to the line by the 22-year-old Van Staeyen, who earned his second victory of the season.
