Night racing? Cool!

The day before the annual cow market? Udderly cool!

Tuesday night featured another mid-week race in a unique setting. Each year, the Dutch town of Woerden hosts an annual Koeienmarkt cow market. At the Koeienmarkt, cows are brought to the Woerden church square and judged based on their strength and other attributes.

The cyclocross race has been held the night before the Koeienmarkt for the past 17 years. The riders who moo-ve through the course the fastest get to take home a nice-sized piece of Dutch cheese as a reward for their efforts.

Helen Wyman (Kona Factory Racing) turned in a bovinely-inspired performance in the Women’s race, finishing ahead of Ellen Van Loy (Telenet Fidea Lions) and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado.

The Men’s race was won by World Cup Koksijde runner-up Lars van der Haar (Telenet Fidea Lions). Second and third went to David van der Poel (Beobank-Corendon) and Corne van Kessel (Telenet Fidea Lions).

Full results from both races are below.
