Last year, Hotondcros in Ronse was part of the DVV / IJsboerke Trofee series. Although held in early October, the 2017 race was noteworthy because it was Katie Compton’s (KFC Racing p/b Trek Knight) first win of her European campaign, and Lars van der Haar (Telenet Fidea Lions) won in one of the few races not won by Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon-Circus) last year.

This year, it swapped series and joined the Brico Cross slate of races. It also picked up two new winners.

In the Women’s race, Marianne Vos (WaowDeals Pro Cycling) continued her hot start to the season with her second win in three tries. The rest of the podium was for the young Steylaerts – 777 teammates, with Alice Maria Arzuffi taking second and Annemarie Worst finishing third. Elle Anderson (Milwaukee-Alpha Motorhomes) finished 13th.

For the Men, it was Van der Poel for the second straight day. Wout van Aert (Cibel-Cebon Offroad Team) finished second yet again, with Michael Vanthourenhout (Marlux-Bingoal) third.

U.S. World Cup champ Toon Aerts (Telenet Fidea Lions) did not race.
