With temperatures in Waterloo soaring into the 90s on Friday afternoon, a few riders decided to call it a day after their pre-race course inspection. Many riders, among them Mathieu van der Poel (Beobank-Corendon), Toon Aerts (Telenet Fidea Lions) and others, decided to get a pre-World Cup tune-up in by racing Friday afternoon’s C2 at the Trek CX Cup.
Aerts was the only rider able to mirror a mid-race attack from Van der Poel and then after the two rode together for a few laps, Van der Poel dropped his rival to cruise to the C2 win. Aerts finished second, and Vincent Baestaens beat out Eli Iserbyt (Marlux – Napoleon Games) in the battle for third.
Stay tuned to Cyclocross Magazine for a full report from Friday’s race and our continuing coverage of the 2017 Trek CX Cup and World Cup Waterloo.
