Theuns pounced with three kilometres remaining, and was part on aggressive Trek-Segafredo strategy throughout, as Mads Pedersen and Jasper Stuyven both launched earlier attacks of their own.

Ackerman (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Jasper De Buyst (Lotto Soudal) finished in second and third respectively in Haacht.
