Diegem gets a lot of the hype as night races go, but on Tuesday, there was another cyclocross race under the lights at Nacht van Woerden in the Netherlands.
The race dates to the 1970s when it started as a criterium, and it continues to be held in conjunction with a concert and other events every year.
This year’s Elite Women’s race was won by Maud Kaptheijns (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal). Laura Verdonschot (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) took second and Inge van der Heijden (CCC – Liv) third.
Lars van der Haar (Telenet Baloise Lions) won the Elite Men’s race for the fifth-straight year. Joris Nieuwenhuis (Team Sunweb) took second and Felipe Orts Lloret (Cyclocross Team Teika – GSport – BH) third.
Full results are below.
The race featured an interesting off-camber that got the best of some riders.
