The current world champion, however, was both times only a few [...]
KALMTHOUT, BELGIUM – In a finishing sprint that almost perfectly mirrored yesterday’s finish at GP Neerpelt, Belgian Champion Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet-Euphony) bested World Champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) at the line. Straying from yesterday’s script was the inclusion of Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) who, after looking ready to crack from the lead group of six riders, managed [...]
On the eve of one of the first classic races of the season, the Vlaamse Industrieprijs Bosduin at Kalmthout, racers in Belgium stretched their legs at the Soudal GP Neerpelt.

While Cyclocross Magazine is still a bit small to afford sending an editor to the big show, we have managed to [...]
by Kat Statman The season is oh-so-close. You can almost taste it. So, what do we have for you then? A little bit of transfer news, and a little bit of debate. Gabby Day and Sabrina Schweizer go to Rapha-Focus; Joe Dombrowski joins the Pro-Tour Ranks, but with who? Danny Summerhill to United Healthcare; lastly, should Superprestige [...]
It’s the debate of the ages: should you be incorporating running into your cyclocross training program?
