Team RACE Pro has rode its first event on Flemish roads

Last Saturday, Team RACE Pro has rode its first event on Flemish roads - the 11th edition of the Beverbeek Classic, for a total of 168km amount 200 riders of 33 teams.

As expected a hard cross side Flemish wind was blowing from the start. The peloton rode full speed from the gun, pushing the riders to echelon formation. Miller punctured around the 30km after avoiding a crash in front of him. He was unable to come back to the peloton.

Mark Walters and Ryan Roth stayed in front of a decisive split in the race and continued to participate strongly to the finishing circuits (7 x 8.2km) in Hamont-Achel. Joël Dion-Poitras and Mark Pozniak were surprised by the vivid allure and ferocity of the pack in the wind. It was hard to stay protected and missed the decisive split. Dustin MacBurnie maintained his position, but his chasing group could not regroup with the peloton.

The caravan was impressive constituted of 33 team vehicles, 3 neutral supports, plus officials and commissaires.

The victory went to the Belgium Johan Coennen of team Topsport in a spring against Thomas Berckhout and Momenick Klemme. 115 riders finished the race.
