Шаблон:Infobox cycling race report
The 2021 Primus Classic (also known as the Grand Prix Impanis-Van Petegem) was the 23rd edition of the Primus Classic road cycling one day race, which was held on 18 September 2021 as part of the 2021 UCI Europe Tour and the 2021 UCI ProSeries calendars.[1] This edition was the race's first in the UCI ProSeries; the 2020 edition was expected to feature in the inaugural UCI ProSeries but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
The race's hilly route covered Шаблон:Convert from Brakel in East Flanders to Haacht in Flemish Brabant.Шаблон:Sfn Almost immediately from the start, riders took on the Tenbosse, the first of many short but steep hills. The majority of the hills came between Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert into the race, with some of them cobbled. The last hill, the Hulstbergstraat, was crested with just under Шаблон:Convert to go, and from there, the conclusion of the race was net downhill to the finish line near Boortmeerbeek/Wespelaar in Haacht, just outside a Primus brewery.[2]Шаблон:Sfn
The first major selection of favourites happened with just over Шаблон:Convert, with Mathieu van der Poel (Шаблон:Ct) and defending world road race champion Julian Alaphilippe (Шаблон:Ct) the first to initiate attacks. Шаблон:Ct were the main presence in this group, making up five of the eleven out in front. Van der Poel suffered a puncture with Шаблон:Convert, dropping him from the group. A few kilometres later, further attacks reduced the group to just five riders; these were Tosh Van der Sande (Шаблон:Ct), Simon Clarke (Шаблон:Ct), Jasper Stuyven (Шаблон:Ct), and the Шаблон:Ct duo of Mikkel Frølich Honoré and Florian Sénéchal. Consecutive accelerations from both Шаблон:Ct riders dropped Clarke, who managed to catch back up in the final kilometre. However, just as he was doing so, Honoré led the group on the finishing straight and gradually increased the pace to lead out Sénéchal. Stuyven was the first to begin sprinting, but Sénéchal came out of his slipstream and sprinted past him before holding off Van der Sande for the win. Sénéchal's victory capped off a dominant performance by Шаблон:Ct, who finished with five riders in the top ten placings.[3][4]
Teams
11 of the 19 UCI WorldTeams, five UCI ProTeams, and four UCI Continental teams made up the twenty teams that participated in the race.[5] All but five teams entered a full squad of seven riders; these five teams were Шаблон:Ct, Шаблон:Ct, Шаблон:Ct, Шаблон:Ct, and Шаблон:Ct, and they each entered six riders.[6] There were two non-starters, one each from Шаблон:Ct and Шаблон:Ct, reducing both teams to six riders. In total, 133 riders started the race, of which 111 finished; however, two riders were disqualified and thus not counted, so there were officially 109 finishers.[7]
