The 2022 Scheldeprijs was the 110th edition of the Scheldeprijs road cycling one day race, which was held on 6 April 2022. It was a 1.Pro event on the 2022 UCI ProSeries. The race, which was 198.7 kilometres (123.5 mi) long, started in Terneuzen in the Netherlands and traveled through the windy fields of Zeeland before crossing the border into Belgium and finishing in Schoten on the outskirts of Antwerp.[1]
The Scheldeprijs is known as a race that particularly suits the sprinters as it includes several cobbled roads but no significant climbs. However, the race was won in an unusual solo victory by Alexander Kristoff riding for Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux, when he attacked 7.4 kilometers from the finish and was able to distance the chasing group due to a strong headwind. Danny van Poppel (Bora–Hansgrohe) outsprinted Sam Welsford (Team DSM) for second, finishing 24 seconds behind Kristoff.[2]
