A desperate late effort has netted Taco van der Hoorn (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) a spectacular last-gasp victory in the 102nd edition of the Brussels Cycling Classic.
The former Giro d’Italia stage winner chased down a sustained late solo attack by Thimo Willems (Minerva Cycling) to come past the Belgian just a few metres before the line in central Brussels. Tobias Bayer (Alpecin-Fenix) took third.
