Eeckhout wins in Leuven

Nico Eeckhout (Lotto-Adecco) has given his team its 30th season victory, winning the Grote Prijs Jef Scherens in Leuven. He beat breakaway partners Björn Leukemans (Vlaanderen-T Interim) and Geert Omloop (Collstrop) after they attacked on the last lap from a group of 9 riders.

This edition of the GP Jef Scherens was held in wet conditions, and initially only 12 riders were classified at the finish after the race jury declared the rest were outside the time limit. However, this was later reversed and 30 riders were classified. Mapei and Mercury did not start.

Eeckhout's win was his 8th of the season, including the Etoile de Bessèges (stage plus overall), Dwars door Vlaanderen, a stage in the Tour of Denmark, and the kermis races GP Erembodegem, Beveren-Leie and Kortrijk.
