De Jongh takes Flanders championship

Quick Step's Steven de Jongh took home the victory in the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen, besting his fellow Dutchman Sebastian Langeveld (Rabobank) in the two-man dash for the line.

The 35-year-old was pleased to finally take a win after a series of second and third place finishes and end his career on a high note.

"At the end of this season I'll be retiring from racing and it means a lot to me to leave a positive sign in the group. Even though I'm 35, athletically I still feel like a young rider. I want to continue to entertain and enjoy myself, racing as a professional until the last race.

"It's true, sometimes I'm an old white bear, but inside I still have the spirit of a kid. I'd like it if the commitment I give to my work was an example for all young cyclists who take on a professional career."
