Corbin Strong (NSN) claimed an emphatic victory in the Circuit Franco-Belge, holding off Anders Foldager (Jayco-AlUla) and Giro d'Italia points classification winner Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep).

The Kiwi timed his effort perfectly in the uphill finish, kicking early as Magnier struggled to get on top of his gear. The Frenchman was uncharacteristically bogged down and was passed by Foldager just before the line.
