08.04

Tim Merlier claimed his third consecutive Scheldeprijs victory with a perfectly timed sprint in Schoten, coming from deep in the peloton to win ahead of Pavel Bittner and Emilien Jeannière. The Belgian overcame an early season knee injury and showed no signs of rust, navigating through the bunch with the help of teammate Bert Van Lerberghe before launching his decisive move. Despite early breakaway attempts and late crashes disrupting several sprinters, the race ultimately came down to an inevitable bunch sprint, where Merlier proved strongest.
