One week before the 2021 Cyclocross World Championships, storylines emerged.

Could Wout van Aert’s (Jumbo Visma) massive four-year contract and the iconic tricolore threads propel him to victory at the Flandriencross race in Hamme? Could early-season threat Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) or late-season star Tom Pidcock (Trinity Racing) resume their winning ways?

At the 2021 X²0 badkamers Trofee – Flandriencross race in Hamme today, there were no surprises as it was status quo again. Mathieu van der Poel emerged from the final pass through the muddy woods with time to celebrate over rival Van Aert.

Van Aert crossed the line just seven seconds in arrears, but it was not that close. Laurens Sweeck finished a minute behind the winner to complete the podium.

American Jules van Kempen finished in 47th, ahead of Jonathan Anderson in 48th.
