(Cyclingnews.com)

Yves Lampaert capped off a dominant performance by Quick-Step Floors` in the 72nd edition of Dwars door Vlaanderen on Wednesday. The team´s super domestique soloed to his first WorldTour win in a tactical finale, where he successfully counter-attacked the four-man breakaway containing teammate Philippe Gilbert. Shortly after crossing the line, Lampaert - who lives in nearby Ingelmunster - was mobbed by the rather enthusiastic fans who broke through the security line. `They´re the best fans of the country,` Lampaert said at the post-race press conference in the football stadium of Zulte-Waregem. `They´re very enthusiastic and it´s not suggested to say a bad word about me when they´re around. They´re quite heavy supporters, but that´s great. It´s no fun to celebrate on your own.`ADVERTISEMENT Not only the fans were celebrating at the finish line but also his teammates. In a team with big names like Zdenek Stybar, Philippe Gilbert, Nikki Terpstra and Fernando Gaviria, it´s odd that Lampaert walked away with the flowers. `Gilbert was super happy for me,` Lampaert said. `He said it was a deserved win. The others too. I think they were happy to see me win after all the work I´ve done for them in the previous years. Most of the time I work for the team. I like to work for the team. I´m a team player.` On Wednesday afternoon, his work for the team resulted in a win for himself. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
