Vanthourenhout enthralled with a win in Diegem. photo: vier.be screenshot
Compared to the Elite Men and Women’s Races, as well as the Junior Race earlier in the day, the U23 race at Superprestige Diegem was one not quite dictated by crashes. The rut at the front end of the course caused a few headaches, including eventual second place Stan Godrie to run nearly off-course, but otherwise the U23 men showed their technical skill before the sun set. Vanthourenhout took the win with Clément Venturini of France, who was in the lead for most of the race, taking the final spot on the podium.
Watch carefully and you’ll be able to see highlights of Curtis White, Logan Owen and Andrew Dillman of the United States. And be sure to stay tuned for the full results once they are released by the UCI.
