After a strong performance at the Tirreno–Adriatico, most notably finishing 3rd on the second stage and 2nd on the final stage (an individual time trial), he won his first professional race at the Tour of Flanders, one of cycling's five monuments. Following a successful solo attack on the second to last climb of the race, Oude Kwaremont, he managed to keep the gap to the chasing group which included several of the pre-race favorites, including previous winners Alexander Kristoff and Peter Sagan, for the remaining 17 km.
