NEERPELT, Belgium—Sophie de Boer and Laurens Sweeck continued their strong cyclocross seasons back in Europe, looking no worse for wear after a long trip to the United States to contest the CrossVegas and Jingle Cross World Cups.

De Boer took control of the women’s race at the Soudal Classics GP Neerpelt, leaving Laura Verdonschot behind to fend off Nikki Harris for second. See highlights in the video below.
