Eli Iserbyt continued his dominant season with a 48 second victory at an extremely muddy Hoogerheide World Cup, wrapping up the overall 2014/2015 World Cup title in the process.
Eli Iserbyt dominated the Junior Men’s race in Hoogerheide and wrapped his overall World Cup win.
Newly-crowned US Junior Cyclocross National Champion Gage Hecht had a great start, rocketing down the long starting pavement sitting in sixth, and then moving up quickly as the group hit the dirt. Hecht would hit the first muddy hairpin descent on foot at the front, leading the entire field around the off camber downhill turn.
Iserbyt would pass Hecht and run away with the day’s victory and World Cup title, but Hecht would fight tooth and nail to make sure that Iserbyt would be the only one to pass him in his fight for second.

By the end, only Dutch racer Roel van der Stegen would also get by him, leaving Hecht to finish third, just five seconds out of second.
Couldn't be happier with third place today at the Hoogerheide World Cup! Thanks everyone who helped with this accomplishment. #racingmatters
