OUDENAARDE, Belgium (VN) — Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) cracked Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) on the final muddy climb to win the brutal Koppenbergcross on Thursday.
Albert took second at 13 seconds while Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Revor) proved best of the rest, escaping a shattered chase group to finish third at 1:03.
His teammate Kevin Pauwels had a race to forget, falling off the pace in the late laps to finish outside the top 10, nearly two and a half minutes down.
Earlier, British champion Helen Wyman (Kona Factory Team) won the women’s race ahead of Nikki Harris (Telenet-Fidea) and Sanne Cant (Veldritacademie Enertherm-BKCP).
Editor’s note: Stay tuned for more from the Koppenbergcross.
