Max Kanter (XDS Astana) was the fastest in the bunch sprint to win the Lotto Famenne Ardenne Classic on Sunday. It was 1-2 for XDS Astana as the German sprinter crossed the line just ahead of his teammate Cees Bol, while Arne Marit (Intermarché-Wanty) settled for third place in Marche-en-Famenne.
"It was definitely our day today! We had a super strong line-up with very fast and powerful guys, all ready to fight for the best result. Many teams tried to attack and shake things up in the final, but our riders did an amazing job with positioning; Ale (Romele), Mike (Teunissen), Gleb (Syritsa), and Cees (Bol) were incredible in the finale. They really did a great job," Kanter said.
