Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) won his 12th victory of the 2023 season, adding the Championship of Flanders to his four Tour de France stage wins and other sprint victories.
The Belgian surged down the middle of the wide road finish to hold off Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco-AlUla) and Fabio Jakobsen (Soudal-QuickStep) in a close sprint. Further behind were Bryan Coquard (Cofidis), Matteo Moschetti (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team) and Giacomo Nizzolo (Israel-Premier Tech).
