Antwerp Port Epic 2018, trionfo in solitaria di Van Keirlsbuck

Guillaume Van Keirlsbuck ha vinto per distacco la Antwerp Port Epic 2018. Il portacolori della Wanty-Groupe Gobert ha preceduto di oltre un minuto e mezzo Aksel Nommela (Beat Cycling Club) e Taco Van Der Hoorn (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij). Per il 27enne di Roesalare, che si è mosso quando al traguardo mancavano ben 54 chilometri in compagnia di Jan Willem van Schip (Roompo-Nederlandse Loterij), si tratta del sesto successo tra i professionisti e del primo nel 2018. L’ultimo risaliva infatti alla passata stagione, quando si aggiudicò Le Samyn.

La gara, che ha ricalcato il percorso dello Schaal Sels e prevedeva 32 chilometri da affrontare sul pavé e 30 di sterrato, è stata risolta dall’attacco dei due, che hanno subito guadagnato un paio di minuti sul gruppo. Van Schip è poi caduto a una ventina di chilometri dall’arrivo e Van Keirsbulck ha deciso di proseguire in solitaria, contenendo il tentativo di rimonta di un drappello trascinato da Wout Van Aert (Veranda’s Willems-Crelan), quest’ultimo rialzatosi nel finale e giunto ottavo al traguardo nella sua ultima gara su strada del 2018. Lo sprint dei battuti è stato vinto dall’estone Nömmela davanti a van der Hoorn, fresco vincitore di una frazione all’Eneco Tour.
