The 2021 Superprestige cyclocross series kicked off today in Gieten, and although the two biggest stars were off racing the cobbles of the 2021 Paris Roubaix, the race was not short on star power or mud.

On a muddy, sandy course in Gieten, DSM’s Joris Nieuwenhuis got off to a fast start and led the first lap. Soon, the favorites took over at the front.

In the end, Toon Aerts of Baloise-Trek Lions got his first win of the season after a tight battle with Quinten Hermans (Tormans – Circus).
