At Tuesday’s muddy Robotland Cyclocross Essen, part of the Ethias Cross series, two Dutch superstars stood atop the Belgian podium.
Arguably the two best cyclists of their generation, Marianne Vos (CCC – Liv) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin – Fenix) added yet another win to their packed palmarès on the muddy course.
Both the men’s race and women’s race featured North Americans.

Behind her, Pan American champ Maghalie Rochette (Specialized – Feedback) and Rebecca Fahringer (Kona Maxxis Shimano) came in for 12 and 13th, respectively. Kaitie Keough (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld) finished 17th, Ruby West (Proximus- AlphaMotorhomes – Doltcini) finished 22nd, Maddie Munro (Trek Factory Team) in 24th, Sidney McGill in 27th (Pedal Head), Siobhan Kelly (Black Dog Racing) in 36th and Corey Coogan Cisek (VeloRevolution – Cyclocross Custom) in 44th.
