Pascal Ackermann (Bora-hansgrohe) claimed Bredene Koksijde Classic in a bunch sprint beating Kristoffer Halvorsen (Team Sky) and Alvaro Hodeg (Deceuninck-Quick-Step), the defending champion.
“I think we showed already that we were the strongest team on Wednesday, and I had to give something back to the team. That’s what I wanted to do today, and finally we did it, ” Ackermann said.
“It was a headwind in the sprint, and before it was very hectic. I lost a lot of times my lead-out man, but I always came back. I had this final in a good mind because two years ago it was my first race where I was in the top five, and today I said this is my final, I want to win.”
