Following a disappointing start to cobbled Classics season at Belgium's Opening Weekend at the end of February, Soudal-QuickStep were out in force at a brutal edition of the Classic Brugge-De Panne on Wednesday.

The Belgian team were the strongest in the peloton during the wind- and rain-hit 211km race by Flanders' North Sea coast, racing with four men in the decisive split of 20 which went clear with 60km to run.
