Belgian cyclocross is back!
Ethias Cross‘ Rapencross de Lokeren, which was initially canceled in August due to the pandemic, took place this weekend, bringing out the cyclocross stars with fanfare but without the throngs of fans.
The 21-year-old Dutch racer Aniek van Alphen (Credishop Fristads) started her season off with a bang, taking the win ahead of teammate Manon Bakker.
Lucinda Brand (Telenet Baloise Lions) finished third.
Dutch women took the top five spots.
