British cyclist Matthew Brennan claimed victory in the Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne one-day race in Belgium, becoming the first Briton to win since Sir Mark Cavendish in 2012 and 2015. The 20-year-old Visma-Lease a Bike rider outpaced his rivals with a decisive sprint finish in the 195km race.

Brennan's win comes after a dramatic weekend that saw him recover from a heavy fall during Saturday's Omloop Nieuwsblad. The young cyclist reflected on his journey, noting he had previously watched the race as a junior before competing himself. His victory marks a significant milestone in his professional career.

The race results saw Luca Mozzato finish second and compatriot Matteo Trentin take third place. Brennan's triumph at such a young age signals his potential as a rising star in professional cycling, following in the footsteps of Cavendish's legacy in the sport.
