Ganna overtakes Van Aert in final meters to win 80th edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen

A strong Filippo Ganna claim his first-ever Dwars door Vlaanderen victory. In a race packed with attacks, Wout van Aert seemed destined for the win for a long time. Van Aert used the Eikenberg as a launchpad, bridged to the leaders in a single acceleration, and went solo with 10 kilometers to go. Despite having to change bikes twice, Ganna still managed to fight his way back to the front. In the closing kilometers, the Italian escaped the peloton in pursuit of Van Aert. He overtook the Belgian in the final meters while narrowly holding off the charging pack. A valiant Van Aert finished second, while Waerenskjold won the sprint for third place.
