The 2013 Gent–Wevelgem was the 75th running of the Gent–Wevelgem single-day cycling race. It was held on 24 March 2013 over a distance of 183.4 kilometres (114.0 miles) and was the seventh race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season. The race was originally scheduled to be over a distance of 238 kilometres (147.9 miles), but due to snow, the race start was moved from Deinze to Gistel.[1]
The race was won by Slovakia's Peter Sagan of the Cannondale team, after making a solo attack with 4 km (2.5 mi) remaining, and ultimately held on to win the race by 23 seconds ahead of a group of nine riders.[2] Second place went to Slovenian Borut Božič, riding for the Astana team,[3] while Greg Van Avermaet was the highest-finishing Belgian rider, completing the podium for the BMC Racing Team.[4]
Teams
As Gent–Wevelgem was a UCI World Tour event, all UCI ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Originally, eighteen ProTeams were invited to the race, with six other squads given wildcard places, and as such, would have formed the event's 24-team peloton. Team Katusha subsequently regained their ProTour status after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[5][6] With Team Katusha not originally invited to the race, race organisers announced their inclusion to the race, bringing the total number of teams competing to twenty-five. Each of the 25 teams were allowed to enter eight riders to the race, making up a maximum starting peloton of 200 riders.
The 25 teams that competed in the race were:[7]
