American Neilson Powless fools Visma to win Around Flanders
American Neilson Powless won the Around Flanders cobbles classic on Wednesday leaving Wout van Aert and his Visma team with egg on their faces.
The Dutch outfit broke as a team with Van Aert, Matteo Jorgenson and Tiesj Benoot breaking away in the final hour.
But Powless grimly held on to the yellow-shirted trio and began his sprint early on the run into Waregem to outwit the three riders and win the 184.2km loop around Flanders with its 10 climbs and seven cobblestone sections.
The debacle represents a second disaster here in two seasons for the 30-year-old Van Aert, who suffered a fall on this race last season that scuppered much of his year.
American Jorgenson won in Van Aert's absence in 2024 and came home fourth Wednesday.
The ecstatic Powless told reporters it was "the win of my life" at the finish line as he celebrated with his teammates.
Jorgenson said Visma followed team instructions to wait for the sprint rather than attack Powless over the final 50km.
Van Aert crossed the line with his head very low in a state of dejection before slumping to the ground.
Without a win since the Vuelta last September he goes into the season's two hottest one day races the Tour of Flanders and the Paris-Roubaix in the next 10 days nursing a bruising near miss.
