LOENHOUT, Belgium—While Belgian U23 riders took eight of the top ten spots at Azencross today, it was American rider Tobin Ortenblad, who we just heard from today with our rider diary series, who was the first to spoil the streak claiming eighth. Swiss rider Timon Ruedd was the other non-Belgian in the top ten taking the final spot.

Daan Hoeyberghs won going away with Quinten Hermans four seconds back and Daan Soete a further 15 seconds in arrears.
Andrew Dillman of the US made the top 15 in 13th position, one ahead of teammate Curtis White in 14th. Gavin Haley finished 22nd and Grant Ellwood was 39th.
6 US Junior Men in the top 15 at #azencross this morning? 3 U23 men in the top 15? Two elite women in the top 15? Momma Mia.
