HEERLEN, NETHERLANDS: Sanne van Paassen (Rabobank) won today in front of her home crowd, besting Kona’s Helen Wyman, Belgian Champion Sanne Cant and teammate Sabrina Stultiens. Marianne Vos had been scheduled to race, but failed to start due to feeling ill from the flu.

In the Elite Men’s race, it was a smaller affair as a number of big names were missing, namely World Champion Sven Nys, and Belgian Champion Klaas Vantornout. Nys opted to stay closer to home, and won the C2 G.P. Stad Eeklo. Nonetheless, Niels Albert (BKCP) and Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) resumed yesterday’s rivalry at Superprestige Middelkerke, with Albert again coming out on top. Rather than a sprint, however, Albert proved the strongest on the parcours and rode a solo race ahead of a chasing Meeusen. Phillipp Walsleben finished third, followed by Bart Aernouts (AA Drink) and then Rob Peeters (Telenet-Fidea).
