Sven Nys (Rabobank) took his season victory tally to nine wins after beating Ben Berden (Saey-Deschacht) and Erwin Vervecken (Fidea) in today's fourth round of the Superprestige series in Gavere. It was a hard fought win though, as Nys, Berden and Vervecken had battled with John Gadret (Chocolade Jacques), Richard Groenendaal (Rabobank) and up until halfway, Bart Wellens (Fidea). Gadret and Berden tried several times to distance Nys, but at two laps from the finish it was Nys himself who gapped the others, holding onto win by four seconds.

In the SP standings, Nys now has a seven point lead over Ben Berden, with Tom Vannoppen (MrBookmaker.com - Palmans) in third place at nine points, followed by Groenendaal and Vanthourenhout.
