Vervecken from Wellens in a sprint

Erwin Vervecken (RVS Liege) won the Duinencross in Koksijde for his fifth win of the season, beat Spaar Select's Bart Wellens in a sprint. In third place was Sven Nijs (Rabobank) at 22 seconds, while Mario de Clercq and Richard Groenendaal placed fourth and fifth.

Nijs, Vervecken, Wellens and Groenendaal rode a hard tempo early on, and Vervecken and Wellens managed to drop Nijs, who said he was "feeling very good and had a chance of winning. I also came back strongly in the last lap, but Vervecken was better - he is a sand specialist."
