On Wednesday 30 August, FILIPPO MAGLI won the first edition of Smart Energy Muurclassic Geraardsbergen!

The Italian rider of Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè sprinted narrowly faster than Brit Harry Birchill (Saint Piran) on the Vesten. Peter Schulting (VolkerWessels Cycling Team) finished third a few seconds later. Tom Van Asbroeck (Israel Premier Tech Academy) was the first Belgian, stranding 41 seconds behind the winner. Van Asbroeck was also the winner of the Proximus mountain prize.

An intermediate sprint was held at each crossing over the top of Denderoordstraat, with 4, 2 and 1 points to be earned each time for the first 3 riders.

Local rider Tom Van Asbroeck not only achieved a nice fourth place in the final classification, he also turned out to be the best climber!

After the six passes over the Denderoordberg, Tom scored the most points and went home with a nice television screen, donated by Pickx Sport!

He received the prize from Jago Goedefroy of Proximus.
