41st Brabantse Pijl - 1.2Belgium, April 1, 20002000 Results Results Past winners Boogerd backs up
Dutchman Michael Boogerd (Rabobank) has won the 41st edition of the Brabanste Pijl (Flèche Brabançonne) which finished on top of the Côte d'Alsemberg after 194 kilometres. The former world number 2 beat Australian Scott Sunderland (Fakta) and Belgian Axel Merckx (Domo), one day after Andrei Tchmil demolished the field in the GP E3-Harelbeke. Rabobank managed to place three riders in the final nine man break, including Marc Lotz and Gert Verheyen, and had the numbers over Domo-Farm Frites who had Merckx and Dave Bruylandts there. Boogerd has now won 6 races so far this season, and seems to be back to his best form. "I will not ride in the Tour of Flanders," he said after his win. "Instead I will concentrate on Liege-Bastogne-Liege, my big objective for the early part of the season."
