However, they were the best team again. On Saturday, they managed to have two riders in the winning group. Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) got the better of Yves Lampaert in the end, but second place is a great result. On Sunday, Kasper Asgreen, got ahead with 30 km to go. And he held onto his advantage. A well-deserved victory for a possible star. A sign of things to come? Deceuninck\u2013Quick-Step mean business again. And so does Stuyven. We look forward to the upcoming races.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I am speechless about today!
