Wout Van Aert (Jumbo Visma) has officially made his return to cyclocross.

We caught Van Aert training a few weeks back but this is his first major race of the season and, in a surprising turn of events, he didn’t place first.

Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) rode a flawless race, constantly pushing and pacing himself. His ability to do so led to his victory.

In the final lap, Iserbyt was able to create a sizable gap between himself and Van Aert. Any chance of recovery for Van Aert was crushed when he slid out, leading to the gap growing.

In second, we saw Lars van der Haar (Telenet Baloise Lions), a top contender of the current season. Van Aert placed third.

This time, we saw American Curtis White once again. White place 22nd.
