Oggi si disputa la 100ª edizione dello Scheldeprijs (o Prix de L’Escaut), tradizionale corsa di un giorno che si svolge sulle strade del Belgio e che precede di poco l’attesissima Parigi-Roubaix. Al via 13 formazioni World Tour e 12 Continental, provenienti da quattro continenti. 202,2 i chilometri da percorrere.
Lo scorso anno fu Mark Cavendish ad aggiudicarsi la vittoria. Oggi il britannico Campione del Mondo non prenderà il via poiché è nata la sua primogenita Delilah Grace. A lui e alla compagna vanno i nostri più sinceri auguri!
