In the men's race, Loman, Petr Vakoč (Canyon) and Mees Hendrikx (Heizomat Herrrmann) broke away from what started out as a lead group of 20, working together to keep the gap and setting up a tight three-way sprint on the line to decide the podium spots. Loman claimed the victory ahead of The Gralloch winner Vakoč, who also came second in the last round at Wish One, and then Hendrikx.
