Update: See our full 2017 Fiuggi UCI Cyclocross World Cup Elite Men’s report and results here.
Wout van Aert made the least mistakes today in Fiuggi, Italy to secure another World Cup win and cement his overall 2016/2017 Telenet UCI Cyclocross World Cup title.
The Italian World Cup course was a treacherous affair, with countless crashes, slips and solo spills. Early leader Toon Aerts flew over the bars, hitting a tree with his shoulder and ending his race—and possibly his season—in what looked to be a collarbone or AC joint injury.
German Marcel Meisen and Belgian Tom Meeusen finished second and third.
Americans had a tough day in the office. Jeremy Powers was pulled with two laps remaining to finish in 46th, Andrew Juliano finished in 49th, Kevin Bradford-Parish in 51st. Kerry Werner had a strong start but faded and did not finish.
Stay tuned for a full report and photo gallery.
