A day after the European Championships in Silvelle, Italy near Venice, a number of riders made 1,100+ km trip back to Belgium for Monday’s Jaarmarktcross in Belgium.
A week after the return of Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus) at Ruddervoorde, Worlds runner-up Lucinda Brand (Telenet Baloise Lions) made her 2019/20 cyclocross debut with her new team.
Brand’s first race did not disappoint, with the Dutch champ taking the win on Monday. One well-rested rider in Katie Compton (KFC Racing p/b Trek Knight), who opted not to fly back for Pan-Ams for the second-straight year, finished second, and French U23 rider Marion Norbert Riberolle (Experza Pro CX) finished third.
Five-time race winner Sanne Cant (IKO – Crelan) did not race. Rebecca Gross (Zero D Racing) finished 22nd.
A day after getting a tough fight at the Euro Champs, Van der Poel rode away early in the Elite Men’s race and went on to win by nearly a minute and a half to capture his 29th-straight win. Laurens Sweeck (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) finished second and Thijs Aerts (Telenet Baloise Lions) third.
Drew Juiliano (Voler Pro CX / Cure IBD p/b Shimano) finished 39th, Tyler Cloutier (TCCX) 41st and Max Judelson (Voler / Clif / HRS / Rock Lobster) 42nd.
