The pair built a sizable gap with the peloton and contested the slightly uphill sprint where Gerrans prevailed.[3]
In 2013, Van Avermaet won the Flandrian of the Year award thanks to his consistency in high profile races along with Chris Froome.[4]
In 2014, Van Avermaet started the season strongly by taking second places in both the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and the Tour of Flanders. He participated in the Tour de France and helped his leader Tejay van Garderen to a fifth place overall.[5] Later in the campaign, Van Avermaet finished for the third year in a row inside the top 5 of the Grand Prix Cycliste de Québec. He attacked on the final rise, but folded near the line.[6] In September, Van Avermaet earned a prestigious victory at the 1.HC GP de Wallonie. He was part of a 4 rider move that broke clear with 20 km to go, and with the peloton on their heels, Van Avermaet attacked in the final bends to cross the line first.[7] A couple of days later, he won the GP Impanis-Van Petegem. It was later revealed in October that Van Avermaet had won the Flandrian of the year for the second season in a row.[8]
