In a two-up sprint for the win, Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) edged out Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor) for victory at the third round of the World Cup in Koksijde, Belgium. Behind,  Bart Aernouts (Rabobank-Giant – Offroad Team) was third ahead of world champion Zdenek Stybar (Quick Step) in fourth.

Opening the sprint before the final corner, Nys entered the pavement ahead of Pauwels and then moved right, forcing Pauwels to brake. Sunweb-Revor filed a complaint on behalf of Pauwels, but the UCI turned it down.
