These are the results for the 2005 edition of the
GentâWevelgemcycling classic, won in controversial circumstances by
Nico Mattan. After the race, Fassa Bortolo team director Giancarlo Ferreti lodged an appeal with the race jury, claiming that Mattan had used the slipstream of press and support vehicles to beat Fassa rider
Juan Antonio Flecha.
UCI officials blamed the vehicles rather than Mattan and upheld the race result.
