E3 Harelbeke gallery
Look back at photos from an intriguing edition of E3 as the Classics season intensified in Flanders.
The race was peppered with crashes (all images: TDWSport)
Christian Knees was held up by an early pileup
Lukasz Wisniowski was right at home on the Belgian roads
The race was soon stretched
Tom Boonen lit it up on the Taaienberg
Philippe Gilbert applied the pressure, with Gianni Moscon struggling to hold on
Soon a trio formed out front, and the gap spun out
Many riders, Peter Sagan included, had no answer
At the finish Gilbert, Greg van Avermaet and Olivier Naesen went toe to toe
Van Avermaet prevailed to take another big win
