De Clercq wins in a sprint

The fifth World Cup cyclocross event ended in a five up sprint with Belgian Mario de Clercq winning the honors ahead of favorite Sven Nijs. Daniele Pontoni was a positive surprise when he tagged along all the way to the finish just like in the old days. De Clercq had the lead with Nijs and Groenendaal for quite a while but van der Poel, Ponotoni, Berden and van Santvliet managed to capture them, although the two latter had to let the others go towards the end.
