Summary
Jasper Philipsen of {{UCI team code|ADC|2024}}, who recently triumphed in Milan–San Remo, participated in the race, aiming to excel once again on the flat terrain suitable for sprinters like him.
From the start, a breakaway formed without much opposition from the peloton, consisting of Luca De Meester ({{UCI team code|BWB|2024}}), Victor Vercouille ({{UCI team code|TFB|2024}}), and Thomas Gachignard ({{UCI team code|TEN|2024}}).
Their advantage grew to over four minutes before the chase from the main bunch intensified, with teams like {{UCI team code|BOH|2024}}, {{UCI team code|SOQ|2024}}, {{UCI team code|JAY men|2024}}, and {{UCI team code|ADC|2024}} working together to reel them in.
As the kilometers passed, the gap gradually shrank, falling below a minute with 31km remaining. Gachignard made a solo break at 24km to go but was eventually caught with 21km left, as the peloton absorbed De Meester and Vercouille.
Despite being visible to the peloton, Gachignard was allowed some leeway, extending his lead to over 30 seconds. However, his advantage dwindled with 10km to go.
In the final phase of the race, Danny van Poppel had to navigate back to the front after briefly veering off-course. {{UCI team code|SOQ|2024}} controlled the pace into the last 500 meters before {{UCI team code|LTK men|2024}} initiated the sprint.
While Sam Welsford surged ahead, Philipsen demonstrated his skill by timing his sprint perfectly, securing the victory.{{cite web |title=Classic Brugge-De Panne: Jasper Philipsen takes sprint win |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/races/classic-brugge-de-panne-2024/elite-men/results/ |website=Cycclingnews.com |access-date=21 March 2024}}
