Britain's Nikki Harris placed 19th and Gabby Day came home in 27th spot.

Belgian Kevin Pauwels (Telenet-Fidea) won the men's event ahead of Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) in second and Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) in third. Britain's Ian Field finished 39th.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
