Rosyjski sprinter reprezentujący barwy Team Katusha, Denis Galimzyanov potwierdził dobrą formę przed Mistrzostwami Świata, wygrywając wyścig Paryż-Bruksela.
Kolarze musieli zmierzyć się z dystansem 220 kilometrów.
W ucieczkę dnia 91 edycji wyścigu zabrali się: Alessandro De Marchi (Androni Giocattoli), Daniele Ratto (Geox-TMC), Diego Caccia (Farnese Vini-Neri Sottoli), Jonathan Hivert (Saur-Sojasun), Matthieu Sprick (Skil-Shimano) and Jurgen van Goolen (Verandas Willems-Accent). Jednak 40 kilometrów przed metą ucieczka została schwytana.
O końcowy triumf walczył cały peleton. Pierwszy na kresce zameldował się Galimzyanov, drugi był Yauheni Hutarovich (FDJ), zaś trzeci Anthony Ravard (AG2R La Mondiale).
W wyścigu jechało dwóch Polaków. Michał Gołaś (Vacansoleil), dla którego był to pierwszy start po Vuelcie, gdzie mocno się poturbował, zajął 54 pozycję. Drugi z Polaków Michał Kwiatkowski (Radioshack) był 137.
