He might have never won the real thing despite multiple attempts but Greg Van Avermaet took a convincing win in the virtual Tour of Flanders, distancing his rivals with 12km remaining to take a solo victory.
Oliver Naesen (Ag2r La Mondiale) finished second behind the CCC rider with Nicolas Roche (Sunweb) in third, taking the last step on the podium.
