Biniam Girmay Hailu (ERY, Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) made his top speed speak for himself by setting the peloton in a sprint. He is ahead of Ryan Gibbons (ZAF, UAE Team Emirates) and Giacomo Nizzolo (ITA, Israel-Premier Tech).

As in 2021 with André Greipel , the fairly flat profile of this race benefited the fastest men in the peloton. The breakaway, in which appeared the Belgians Tuur Dens (BEL, Sport Vlaanderen-Baloise) and Yentl Vandevelde (BEL, Minerva Cycling Team), could not go to the end. Grouped 25 km from the end, the peloton fought for victory in the sprint. The first Belgian rider,  Piet Allegaert (BEL, Cofidis), ranks 7th.

At only 21 years old, Biniam Girmay Hailu offers himself a sixth success in his career. Probably the most beautiful. The Eritrean had already distinguished himself last September by ranking 2nd in the world championship of hopefuls , in Leuven. Girmay had marked the history of his sport by becoming the  first rider from black Africa to stand on the podium of the World Road Cycling Championships .

This victory allows the Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux team of Jean-François Bourlart to record a first success for their second outing of the season. In 2021, then promoted to the World Tour, she had to wait for May 10 and a success of Taco Van der Hoorn in the Tour of Italy to unlock her counter.
