2021 Scheldeprijs
[2] The race, which was 194.2 kilometres (120.7 mi) long, started in Terneuzen in the Netherlands and traveled through the windy fields of Zeeland before crossing the border into Belgium and finishing in Schoten on the outskirts of Antwerp.Three-time winner Mark Cavendish (Deceuninck–Quick-Step) was also taking part, although it was assumed his team would aim for Bennett to win the race.[3] Vini Zabù imposed a self-suspension on racing after one of their riders received a positive anti-doping test.The two groups in front eventually merged and included most of the sprinters on board, with the most notable absentees Elia Viviani and Timothy Dupont, causing their teams (Cofidis & Bingoal Pauwels Sauces WB) to lead the chase in the peloton.The group consisted of Ackermann, Marcus Burghardt, Nils Politt, Michael Schwarzmann & Rüdiger Selig (Bora–Hansgrohe), Bennett, Cavendish, Michael Mørkøv, Florian Sénéchal & Bert Van Lerberghe (Deceuninck–Quick-Step), Dries De Bondt, Philipsen & Jonas Rickaert (Alpecin–Fenix), Luuc Bugter, Piotr Havik & Jan-Willem van Schip (BEAT Cycling), Stan Dewulf & Marc Sarreau (AG2R Citroën Team), Jonas Koch & Danny van Poppel (Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux), Giacomo Nizzolo & Max Walscheid (Team Qhubeka Assos), Clément Russo (Arkéa–Samsic), Dries Van Gestel (Total Direct Énergie), Cees Bol (Team DSM), Søren Wærenskjold (Uno-X Pro Cycling Team), Brent Van Moer (Lotto–Soudal), Norman Vahtra (Israel Start-Up Nation), Evaldas Šiškevičius (Delko) and Luca Mozzato (B&B Hotels p/b KTM).
