The 2017 Cyclocross World Championships’ fourth race, the first on Sunday, presented faster, wetter conditions and a cleaner win than what we saw on Saturday.
Joris Nieuwenhuis (NED) took half a lap to make it to the front of the race, and then turned in a set of blistering lap times to make it into a solo ride.

Behind, Spain’s Felipe Orts Lloret surprised his Belgian companions with a late surge to secure silver, with a charging Dutch Sieben Wouters making a final lap push to take the bronze.
