UAE Team Emirates' Tim Wellens repeated his success of 12 months ago with victory again at the Renewi Tour.
The Belgian veteran played his cards well with the help of his teammates to make a decisive move on the final cobbled climb of the Muur of Geraadsbergen.
This is the fourth time Wellens has won the title as he prepares for his next races in Hamburg and Canada.
Meanwhile at the Vuelta, Pavel Sivakov goes into the rest day in the 10th spot in the GC, having finished 3rd in a gruelling stage 16 battle at the Vuelta España.
The Frenchman pushed the break along on the epic climb to Cuitu Negru (143km) with ramps of 24 percent in the final.
He would have to settle for 3rd spot behind the in-form Pablo Castrillo (Kern Pharma) for the stage but goes into the final week in good shape and with confidence.
