Van der Poel and Pidcock Fight for First at Superprestige Gavere – Full Results

Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin Fenix) made his long-awaited return to cyclocross at yesterday’s X2O Scheldecross and, as we all expected, he took the victory.

Today’s Superprestige Gavere told a different story. Tom Pidcock (Trinity Racing), a rider who we all knew had a lot of potential, went head-to-head with Van der Poel once again.

This time, he won.

While Van der Poel delivered an amazing performance, even he had to admit that Pidcock’s strength in the running sections was formidable.

He eventually created a sizeable gap between himself and Van der Poel, which won him the race.

Pidock came in first, Van der Poel second and Toon Aerts (Telenet Baloise-Lions) third.

From America, we saw Curtis White in 31st. Canada’s Michael van den Ham made his first appearance at Gavere and placed 37th.
