Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates- XRG) soloed to his second Tour of Flanders victory, using the Oude Kwaremont to first whittle down the lead group and then drop all his rivals the third time up the cobbled climb.

From the four-rider chase group, Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) outsprinted Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to take second place. Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease A Bike) finished fourth just ahead Jasper Stuyven (Lidl-Trek), a close fifth.
