Final Superprestige victory to Sven Nijs

World Cup champion Sven Nijs (Rabobank) has taken overall victory in the second major cyclo-cross series this season, the Superprestige. Held over eight rounds, the pointscore came down to the final race in Vorselaar, won by Nijs' teammate Richard Groenendaal. Nijs finished behind Groenendaal in second place, and this was enough to give him the overall win after series leader Erwin Vervecken (SpaarSelect) had bike problems and crashed. Third place in Vorselaar went to Bart Wellens (Spaar Select), who also finished third in the pointscore behind Nijs and Vervecken.
