A fierce battle through the Ardennes saw Leo Hayter emerge triumphant for Development Team DSM, after a brilliant ride where he attacked his breakaway companions and arrived solo at the finish.
An electric opening 40 kilometres of racing saw the team well to the fore before Hayter made what would be the decisive move of the day. The seven rider group worked well together, before Hayter forged on with two others as the finale approached. On the famous Côte de La Redoute, Hayter lit the blue touch paper and went clear, pushing the pedals solo for the final 15 kilometres and taking a spectacular win for Development Team DSM, as he screamed in delight at the finish.
