Tulett, Pidcock Lead Young British Success at 2017 Koppenbergcross

Tulett, Pidcock Show the Future is Bright for British Cyclocross on the Koppenberg Cobbles – Results

Koppenbergcross is a Flandrian classic, but on Wednesday, the first two races on the famed hillside fields and cobbles belonged to the British.

Ben Tulett, younger brother of Dan, who finished second in the Junior Men’s race at Worlds in Bieles, was the king of the mountain in Wednesday’s Junior Men’s race.

In the U23 Men’s race, Tom Pidcock (Telenet Fidea Lions) showed his transition from the road to cyclocross is going significantly smoother than the bumpy Steengat up the Koppenberg.

After finishing fourth in his first U23 race with Telenet Fidea at Superprestige Zonhoven, Pidcock has now won three straight U23 races after taking home a piece of the Koppenberg cobble on Wednesday.

Amazing victory for @Tompid after an amazing final 🎉🎉🎉 #Koppenbergcross pic.twitter.com/KDAS4tvmpu
