Jules was pulling Boeckmans' saddle, among other unfair/dangerous moves to keep in the front, according to Boeckmans' claims. In Het Nieuwsblad:
At seven km to go, Kris Boeckmans (Lotto-Soudal) held Justin Jules (WB Veranclassic) back by the shoulder and pushed him to the back of the peloton. “I was minding Jasper De Buyst's position when Jules started pulling my saddle. He should keep his hands to himself. He was swearing in all sorts of French. Then I thought: Let me take you to the back."
In spite of Boeckmans’ manoeuver the Frenchman crossed the line in 16th position. “I was too far behind”, was the only thing Jules cared to say. No further comment from him on what happened.
"I did it my way, maybe it's not the best way but always with respect and security for my colleagues. #NokereKoerse

Apparently he nearly caused a crash, so was taken to the back for safety.
