The European Elite Women’s cyclocross races this season have been filled with suspense, as fans have enjoyed a variety of winners including Sanne Cant, Jolien Verschueren, Thalita de Jong, Sophie de Boer.
While World Champ de Jong didn’t take to the start of the Superprestige race in Gavere, many of the top European-based racers were in attendance to attack the muddy track under grey skies.
Photographer Bart Hazen was on site to capture the racing, and we’ve got our favorite images, plus a full gallery of his images from the women’s race below.
