The 2017 Scheldeprijs was the 105th edition of the Scheldeprijs road cycling one day race, held on 5 April 2017 as part of the 2017 UCI Europe Tour, as a 1.HC categorised race. The event was noted for being the last official race of Belgian cyclist Tom Boonen on Belgian soil; as such, the race started in Boonen's home town of Mol instead of its usual start in Antwerp,[2] but finished as customary in Schoten.
German rider Marcel Kittel of Quick-Step Floors won the event for the fifth time in a bunch sprint, further extending his race record; he finished ahead of Italian Elia Viviani (Team Sky) and French sprinter Nacer Bouhanni from the Cofidis team.[3]
