The 2025 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad will certainly not be remembered as an exciting race. Everything was decided in a large sprint, with many riders playing for the final victory.

In the end, the surprise winner was Soren Waerenskjold , the Norwegian from Uno X who got the better of Paul Magnier and Jasper Philipsen.

In the top and flop of Fantacycling, the winner obviously stands out with a +4, but the second place also gives joy to the fantasy managers who believed in him by fielding him. In the end, Magnier deserved a +3. Increased value also for Jasper Philipsen (+1), Brent Van Moer (fourth at the finish and with a +3), Samuel Watson, Lukas Kubis, both with a +2, then Piet Allegaert and Vincenzo Albanese who go up by 1 fantamillion.

Among the flops, Wout Van Aert stands out, outside the top 10 after a race entirely dedicated to chasing together with his teammate Tiesj Benoot (both with a -1).

So Matteo Jorgenson, another Visma man (-2) while Kaden Groves, Matej Mohoric, Jasper Stuyven, Toms Skuijns, Nils Politt, Jhonatan Narvaez, Tim Wellens, Arnaud De Lie and Thomas Pidcock have disappointed. All deserve a -1 for a low price.
