De Brabantse Pijl 2024

Benoît Cosnefroy turns podium performances into victory in Overijse

Benoît Cosnefroy (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale Team) surged to the front of a seven-rider breakaway group in Overijse and won 2024 De Brabantse Pijl.

The Frenchman had room to spare as he crossed the line, trailed by Dylan Teuns (Israel-Premier Tech) in second and former winner Tim Wellens (UAE Team Emirates) in third.

The peloton remained together for most of the 195.2km mid-week Belgian Classic, the front group of seven forming just before the final climb of 22 short punchy ascents approached. Marijn van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost) attacked for a solo effort, but was caught 500 metres from the line, which set up the small group sprint.
