Druivenkoers – Overijse

The Druivenkoers in Overijse, south of Brussels took place on 22 August in Belgium. The course covered nearly 200km and was divided into three 36 km and eight local circuits, each included the ascent of Schavei hill. It was won by Roy Sentjens (Predictor-Lotto) who made a late attack to clear away from a breakaway group.

The race was held under heavy rain causing numerous crashes and flats. A breakaway of 20 riders rode clear chasing Dutch rider Joost Van Leijen. He was caught with 15km to go and it then came down to a reduced group of 15. Sentjens made the decisive move on the run to the line and held off a fast finishing Hoogerland and Nikolas Maes.
