Wellens wins round 5
Nys holds the World Cup lead
|
Belgian champion Bart Wellens stormed to yet another strong victory in round 5 of the World Cup in Nommay, France. The reigning World Champion beat home Richard Groenendaal (Netherlands) and Erwin Vervecken (Belgium) by comfortable margins, cementing himself as the top favourite for the Cyclo-cross World Championships in two weeks' time. World Cup leader Sven Nys was a relatively lowly 7th, but managed to increase his lead in the overall classification over Ben Berden to 39 points, after Berden finished 9th.
Wellens, who surprisingly hasn't won a World Cup this season, paved the way for his success by attacking hard from the start. Only Richard Groenendaal could stay with him, and the pair continued to put time into the rest of the field as the race went on. With a few laps to go, Wellens put in an acceleration that Groenendaal couldn't match, and he won alone by 20 seconds.
The final round of the World Cup will be held in Pijnacker (Netherlands) on February 15.
