Cyclo-Cross World Cup #7 - CDMHofstade, Belgium, December 28, 2004Results World Cup standings Cyclo-cross World Cup page 15th win for NysSven Nys (Rabobank) continues to dominate in the major cyclo-cross races, taking his 15th win of the season in round seven of the World Cup in Hofstade, Belgium. Nys reversed the result of the Superprestige race two days ago when he beat Erwin Vervecken (Fidea) by a handy 17 seconds. Italian Enrico Franzoi (Saeco) took third. "This was a 'cross like they were in the period of the great Roland Liboton," said a tired but happy Nys after the race. "That's why it's worth so much, but it also was very difficult. The constant stress causes pain in your back and the chill you get from the cold demands a lot from your body." Nys started attacking on the very first lap, and on lap two he had already opened up a gap on the rest of the field. Only Tom Vannoppen (MrBookmaker.com-Palmans) was able to stay with him, but a bike change on the third lap saw Nys pull away, never to be caught again. The battle for second was fought out between Vervecken and Franzoi, who had gapped Groenendaal, Van Gils, Berden, Commeyne, Gadret, Jezek and Dlask. But an impressive ride from Bart Wellens (Fidea) saw him leapfrog all of the chasers save for the top three, and he had to be content with fourth place. In the women's race, Hanka Kupfernagel (Ger) once again showed her superiority by beating Frenchwoman Maryline Salvetat and UCI number one Daphny van den Brand (Ned).
