While Jake’s away, I’ll share the news from Belgium today. In Hasselt this afternoon we saw Zdenek Stybar grab his first win of the season, just edging out teammate Kevin Pauwels in a very tight sprint. Stybar made a good move on the last lap to put himself in front of a group of four that also included Niels Albert and Klaas Vantornout and he never let up.

The big favorite today has to be Luna’s Georgia Gould who won both days here last year. She may not be riding as seriously as she was one year ago, but she’ll have to be the favorite today

Amy Dombroski (Schlamm p/b Clement & Primus Mootry) gave it a good run in New Jersey last weekend, and should once again today. The conditions suit her a bit better here than they did last weekend

Saturday November 21, 2009 1:40 Jake – CX Magazine

Another who wil benefit from improved course conditions is Laura Van Gilder (C3 Athletes Serving Athletes) who will love the dry, fast course

Jake – CX Magazine:

There was some rain on Friday that has made a couple points on the course slick, and those sections just all happen to be off-camber, so it can get pretty technical out there

Emmett is working on gapping Dombroski as they hit some of the technical sections. Emmett is probably the better technical rider, due to her mountain bike background, but Dombroski can get her on the flats and attacks straight away!

Saturday November 21, 2009 2:24 Jake – CX Magazine
2:25
Jake – CX Magazine:

Dombroski has the gap now, it’s about 2 seconds thanks to that huge charge, but the technical stuff is coming, so they should be back together shortly
