Well done, Eli! Well done, Wout!
December 27, Heusden-Zolder (Belgium) - GP Erik de Vlaeminck Cyclocross
Wout van Aert has won at Heusden-Zolder for the third year in a row. On the fast track, the 29-year-old rider from Team Jumbo-Visma took a convincing victory in the sixth round of the Superprestige classification. Eli Iserbyt and Joris Nieuwenhuis completed the stage. It was the second victory in five races for the former world champion.
Van Aert, who became cyclo-cross world champion in Heusden-Zolder in 2016, quickly established himself in the lead group on the Terlaemen circuit. The Flemish rider accelerated with three laps to go. Only Eli Iserbyt could follow and the battle between the two continued until the final lap. In the last technical section, van Aert used a blistering acceleration to cross the line solo.(bikeraceinfo)
