The 2016 Scheldeprijs is a one-day semi-classic cycling race that took place in Belgium on 6 April 2016. The race began in Antwerp and finished in Schoten, covering a course of 207.8 kilometres (129.1 mi). It is rated as a 1.HC event as part of the 2016 UCI Europe Tour. [1]
Unlike other spring classics such as Paris–Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, the Scheldeprijs is suited particularly for the sprinters, such as the defending champion, Alexander Kristoff ( Team Katusha). Marcel Kittel ( Etixx–Quick-Step) and Mark Cavendish ( Team Dimension Data) had both won the race three times. [2] The finish was changed from previous years, with two extra corners added in the race finale in an attempt to improve safety. [3] The route was flat throughout and finished with three laps of a circuit in Schoten. [4]
The race was won by Kittel in a sprint finish, with Cavendish second and André Greipel ( Lotto–Soudal) third. [5]
