Loenhout provided a foggy, muddy venue for Azencross and the U23 and Juniors races were no exception. It was an all Belgian podium for the U23 men with Eli Iserbyt finishing 11 seconds ahead of Thijs Aerts and Nicolas Cleppe. Joris Nieuwenhuis (NED) finished in fourth and Adam Toupalik (CZE) was fifth. Trevor O’Donnell (CAN) was the lone North American in 41st place.
