Superprestige Cyclo Cross, Asper-Gavere, Belgium, Round 1, November 16

Leo Pieters maintains THE cyclo Cross site on the Web.

Yesterday, I reported the results from the first race in the SuperPrestige Round. The race was won by Dutchman Richard Groenendaal who also took the first round of the World Cup. The race was over 5 laps in Asper-Gavere, Belgium. This site is south of Gent off the road to Oudenaarde alongside the Schelde River which runs across Belgium into the sea at Antwerp. The circuit is very wooded by Belgium standards.

Groenendaal and Bramati flew off at the start, with the Groenendaal falling as a consequence in the first minute of the race. He lost time and a group of 7 riders formed and led the race for the first 3 laps. The group contained all the strong men of Cyclo Cross - Belgians Peter Vervecken, Bart Wellens, Mario De Clercq and Danny De Bie of Belgium, Italian Luca Bramati and Dutch stars Groendendaal and Adri van der Poel.

Groenendaal attacked during the 4th lap and only Belgian Bart Wellens was able to maintain the pace with Vervecken, de Bie, Van Der Poel and Bramati some way further back. Wellens punctured with 2 laps to go.

In the last lap, Vervecken and de Bie dropped the veteran Adri Van Der Poel but could not catch the other Dutchman Richard Groenendaal.

"I understand this is outside the usual news you post but I thought some one may be interested . A team I was a member of have just been listed in the Guiness book of records for a relay ride around Highway one. Starting and finishing in Charters Towers we rode 14,200km in 21 days 21 hours and 17 minutes."

Some People.... [He also demanded Cadel Evans be added to the Ballot Paper]. Questions that remain to be answered before we are impressed: How many were in the team?
