Laurens Sweeck (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) just earned his second victory of not only the season but this week.
The Belgian racer spent a majority of the race catching up to Toon Aerts (Telenet Baloise Lions) and it paid off when he outsprinted Aerts for the victory.
Geen drie op een rij voor Toon Aerts in Leuven. Hij moet in de sprint de duimen leggen voor Laurens Sweeck.
