Results 2025

Remco Evenepoel has added De Brabantse Pijl to his honorary list. After an acceleration by Wout van Aert on Moskesstraat, Evenepoel launched his attack on Holstheide. Only Van Aert and Blackmore were able to follow the Soudal Quick-Step rider. The Brit had to let the two Belgians go in the final local lap, after which Evenepoel beat Van Aert in the sprint on the Brusselsesteenweg.
