Zaterdag won Cibel renner Thomas Gibbons de wedstrijd in West-Vlaamse Anzegem. Aan cyclingsite.be vertelt de sympathieke Amerikaan zijn wedstrijdrelease:

The race in Anzegem was 13 laps of 8,9 kilometers. Each lap included a climb up the Holstraat, which goes for 1 kilometer at 5,2 percent and hits a maximum of 13 percent. Before the race, everyone warned me about the difficulties that were in store. It was “Holstraat this,” and “Holstraat that,” and always spoken with wide eyes and a tilted head as if to say, “You’re doing the Holstraat 13 times, and so you will die 13 deaths.”
