The race is decided in a sprint

Anders Foldager wins the Brabant Arrow, a ProSeries race and the first Ardennes classic in 2026.
After the initial breakaway of 6 men, the race exploded on the penultimate pass on the Moskestraat , with Gregoire breaking away with 31 km to go.
Debruyne manages to reach an agreement with the Frenchman and subsequently also Cosnefroy, Charmig, Lanove, Johannik and Del Grosso.
From behind, it is mainly the NSN who are trying to close the 20" gap and before the final kilometre, which tends to climb, the group catches up with the leaders.
Burgadeau tries to get ahead of the times, but on the final straight the one who has the best start is Foldager who beats Hermans and Cosnefroy .
