The muddy, challenging race in Gavere Belgium made Van Aert take his second victory at the Superprestige series equaling the number with Van der Poel’s victories who has also won all three World Cups and also one of the two DVV Trofee races.
On the other hand, the elite women’s course was less intense and diverse with Belgian Van Loy being the sixth rider to win in ten World Cup, Superprestige and DVV Trofee competitions during the first couple of months of the cyclocross season.
Van Aert was able to create a significant 30-second advantage to pass his Dutch rival. Van Aerts came second while van der Poel came third, 1:17 behind the first place.
Sunday is the day when the fourth round of the World Cup will take place in Bogense, Denmark while the fifth one is set to be in November 25 in Zeven, Germany.
I might be a bit biased – but that was one hell of a bike race | 2 podiums in a weekend ? @NikkiBrammeier | @SuperprestigeCX #Gavere pic.twitter.com/HohYK9ChHV
