It was a good day for Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal at 2021 World Cup Waterloo, where Eli Iserbyt finished ahead of teammate Michael Vanthourenhout in changing conditions.
The course was dry and fast on the first lap but the clouds opened just two laps into the race and conditions quickly changed as the rain fell.
Crashes marked the early race as leader Quinten Hermans went down on pavement that would also claim Toon Aerts and force Thibau Nys to abandon the race.
Isertbyt eventually dropped his teammate but stayed on the gas for a dominant win:
