Race report
editThe race was run in extreme weather, as the remnants of cyclone Xynthia hit Belgium, with strong winds and torrential rain causing the peloton to shatter early.[2] Many abandoned the race before half-course, including favourites Tom Boonen and Filippo Pozzato. The route had to be shortened by 20 km because a fallen tree obstructed the road up the Côte de Trieu.[3][4] The edition was won by Dutch outsider Bobby Traksel who outsprinted his breakaway companions Rick Flens and Ian Stannard.[3] Only 26 of 195 riders finished the race.[5][6]
