The second race of the Superprestige series, the largest cyclo-cross series alongside the World Cup, saw a Belgian triple victory. The experienced Sven Nys came out on top ahead of his compatriot Niel Albert on the demanding course, which required maximum concentration and steering skills with two descents through sand.

Albert tries to attack on the last lap. The reigning cyclo-cross world champion Nys and his teammates Klaas Vantornout (BEL) and Lars van der Haar (NED) are initially unable to follow. However, the world champion comes out of the technical sections faster than Albert and crawls back towards him. A few hundred meters before the finish line, Nys took the lead and was able to bring it home with a long sprint.Swiss cyclo-cross champion Julien Taramarcaz is getting better and better. In Zonhofen, the Frenchman was in the top ten before going down on one of the sandy descents. Although Taramarcaz was able to continue without any damage or pain, he lost a few places. In the end, he finished the race in a very good eleventh place as the only Swiss rider at the start.The next Superprestige race will take place on November 10 in Hamme-Zogge (BEL).www.superprestigecyclocross.be
