É proprio il momento di Tom Boonen! Il campione belga della Omega Pharma-Quick Step si ripete a distanza di tre giorni e va a conquistare anche la Gent-Wevelgem battendo in una volata ristretta Peter Sagan (Liquigas-Cannondale) e Matti Breschel (Rabobank).
Queste le sue parole dopo aver tagliato vittoriosamente il traguardo:
«Ancora una volta la squadra è stata super, in particolare Gert Steegmans è stato l’uomo-chiave. Ma tutti hanno svolto un lavoro eccezionale, abbiamo speso moltissime energie per tenere sempre la testa della corsa. Questo è lo spirito del nostro team, ci sono squadre altrettanto forti come la nostra, ma qui ognuno conosce benissimo fin dall’inizio della gara quale sarà il proprio compito. Adesso spero di recuperare in fretta le energie in vista del Giro delle Fiandre di domenica prossima. Sono felicissimo, cerco sempre di dare il massimo in ogni gara, ma amo in particolare queste corse, la Gent-Wevelgem, il Fiandre, la Roubaix.»
