MIDDELKERKE, Belgium—The Hansgrohe Superprestige series wrapped up today in Middelkerke, Belgium today. With the series ending and the season wrapping up for nearly every racer, the fields were small, but packed with stars and those looking to take final results before attention turns to road racing and other disciplines.

American Elle Anderson had a great ride finishing in the top 10 in 8th, while her countrywomen Britlee Bowman and Corey Coogan Cisek were 17th and 23rd, respectively.


Elie Iserbyt continued his winning ways taking the victory in the U23 Men’s race, resplendant in his rainbow jersey and 27 seconds ahead of countrymen Quinten Hermans and Thijs Aerts.

Jens Dekker has proven unstoppable since the final World Cup. And the Junior Men’s World Champion took the win today in the final superpresitge in front of Florian Vermeersch and Toon Vandebosch.
