Read our Elite Men’s race report for more from Van der Poel’s fun afternoon

It was a tale of two races at the 2018 World Cup Koksijde in Belgium.

The Elite Women’s race was yet another thriller, with Denise Betsema (Marlux – Bingoal) putting in a last-lap attack to get a decisive gap over Nikki Brammeier (Mudiiita), Annemarie Worst (Steylaerts – 777) and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Corendon – Circus).

Brammeier took second and Worst third.

Mathieu van der Poel’s (Corendon – Circus) win was quickly over in a dominant flourish. Van der Poel attacked early and held a 16-second gap after the first lap. The closest anyone would get is 25 seconds.

Wout van Aert (Cibel – Cebon Offroad Team) took second and Toon Aerts (Telenet Fidea Lions) third.

Full Elite results are below. Stay tuned for race reports from both races.
