Kim Heiduk fired to third place on the final stage of the Baloise Belgium Tour after a battling finish.

Heiduk was perfectly delivered to the line after a fantastic lead out from Connor Swift, sprinting past Tim Torn Tuetenberg (Lidl-Trek) to snatch the final podium place.

A fast and flat 183km stage starting and finishing in Brussels, and early six-man break went up the road. In the final lap of the course, the Grenadiers were well positioned at the front of the pack and were closing in on the break, with fantastic work from Ben Turner and Omar Fraile.

The final two from the break were caught inside the final six kilometres, with the Grenadiers continue to pull on the front. A final effort from Swift delivered Heiduk at the perfect time, allowing the German rider to seize third place on the line.

After his second place in the time-trial earlier in the week, Filippo Ganna managed to take fourth place on the GC to top off a great week of racing in Belgium.
