Michael Vanthourenhout (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) continued his strong run of form to see off the challenge of Pim Ronhaar (Trek-Baloise Lions) and win the X20 Badkamers series race in Herentals. 

The second half of the race saw a tight battle between Vanthourenhout, Ronhaar and Laurens Sweeck (Crelan–Corendon). A last-lap acceleration by Vanthourenhout put away his two rivals, with the Belgian winning a second successive race after victory at the UCI World Cup in Dublin two weeks ago.
