Sun and little wind on Scheldeprijs 2023 , 205.3km without particular altitude difficulties: ideal conditions for a large group sprint. The fugitives of the day are resumed when there are 4 km to go to the finish line thanks to the action of Alpecin-Deceunick with a great job by Van Der Poel . Philipsen repays his team with a fantastic sprint and wins clearly by beating Welsford (Team DSM) and Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team).
