With World Cup Bern awaiting on Sunday, Katie Compton (KFC Racing p/b Trek Knight) entered Thursday’s Kermiscross Ardooie to shake off some trans-Atlantic rust.
Kim Van de Steene (Tarteletto – Isorex) took the win as she returns from shutting down her 2018/19 campaign early. Compton took second, and Joyce Vanderbeken took third.
In the Elite Men’s race, Gianni Vermeersch (Creafin – Fristads) bounced back after his flat at Gieten to take the win. Tom Pidcock (Trinity Racing) finished second, and Tim Merlier (Creafin – Fristads) took third in his first cyclocross race of the season.
