Nys and Van de Brand win in Hondsrug

Belgian Sven Nys and Dutchwoman Daphny van de Brand won the Hondsrug Classic Sunday on a mostly flat but tricky course.

The men's race split up at the end of the first lap with an attack. It was whittled down to a lead group of just eight riders. Nys beat Peter Riis Andersen by one second and Gerben de Knegt by two seconds, and the top eight men all ended up within 25 seconds of each other.

Nys, de Knegt, and Thijs Al (fourth place) all rode cyclo-cross bikes, an advantage on the relatively flat course. Only second place Riis Andersen was able to mix up between the cyclo-ross bikes with his usual mountain bike.

Many mountain bikers are about to end their season. Eighth place finisher Michael Weiss of Austria said, "I'm very happy with my race. I'm looking forward to finishing my mountain bike season with the Roc d'Azur race upcoming [on] Sunday."

Van de Brand won by two minutes and 56 seconds over Laura Turpijn and Arielle van Meurs, making it an all-Dutch women's podium.
