Toon Aerts (Telenet Fidea Lions) started the season on a strong note with two wins at the U.S. World Cups, but after returning to Europe he has frequently found himself third to Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus) and Wout van Aert (Cibel – Cebon Offroad Team).
On Sunday at Belgian Nationals in Kruibeke, Aerts was back on top with his first career Elite Belgian National Championship.
