Michael Vanthourenhout (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) has been making podiums all season but today, he finally topped one.

Vanthourenhout was chased by other racers all race but was consistently able to outpower them and keep his pace.

Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) came in second and Laurens Sweeck (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) came in third, solidifying his place as one of the top contenders of the season.

We also saw an American, which pales in comparison to the five in the women’s event, show up. Curtis White placed 30th.
