The young U.S. riders participating in the November block of EuroCrossCamp took to the line at World Cup Koksijde on Sunday.
With the seemingly endless stretches of sand, the young men who have attended Geoff Proctor’s MontanaCrossCamp got a crash course in why Proctor stresses so much running at the annual summer camp.
Alex Morton (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) led the way for the U.S. contingent, finishing 24th. Jared Scott (Boulder Junior Cycling) finished 25th, Nick Carter (KCCX Elite Cycling) 36th, Torin Bickmore (Boulder Junior Cycling) 39th, Magnus Sheffield (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld) 40th and Jules Van Kempen (Tri-Cyclists BRC) 48th.
Pim Ronhaar (Callant – Doltcini) took the win in the Junior Men’s race. Witse Meeussen (Callant – Doltcini) took second and Tom Lindner (Stevens Racing Team) third.
