Fire started in that sprint on the head and although Cant from second position excellent posted sat,, she is not to krachtpater Fire to be accelerated. The victory for the Dutch of Sunweb so, Cant was second, Betsema third.
Fourth seizoenszege
After the world Cup in Namur, the Druivencross in Overijse and the world Cup in Tabor if Lucinda Brand now also in Loenhout cheer, for the first time in her career.
“This had I not immediately to be expected”, she left Friday after her victory record. “Of course, this is a fast trail, but that it is here to a sprint would come where I to the longest end pulled, I had not thought of. This is exactly why I tried to race hard to make, the others from the wheel to drive, but that did not work. In the sprint itself, I was really on my gums. It was still long to the finish line and it was a matter not to be asked to convert. I’m really happy with this victory, here, I got my first international cyclocross, and now I am good on that roll of honour.”
Sanne Cant had to settle with a second place. “I was perfectly placed for the sprint, but Lucinda really had much effect on the end. I touched her over. I had this like for the fourth time won, but that is, unfortunately, not successful.”
Cant strengthens its leading position in the standings and now has 1:32 ahead of Loes Sels and 3:49 on Nikki Brammeier.
