About :
Wout van Aert ended his cyclocross season in style with a World Cup victory in Benidorm. For the first time this season, he took on world champion Mathieu van der Poel, who saw his perfect winter go up in smoke due to material failure and a fall. Van Aert also made it exciting with a crash on the beams. Michael Vanthourenhout came in a fine 2nd, Thibau Nys 3rd. Van der Poel still finished 5th. Immediately after the start, Mathieu van der Poel had to pull over to tinker with his bike. Not a gift at the flying meeting in Benidorm. The world champion knew right away what time it was: overtaking was on. Wout van Aert also did not have the best start, but after two laps he did take the lead of the race. With strong accelerations he tried to make life difficult for Van der Poel in the background. Although the latter enjoyed himself immensely. On the slightly sloping section, the rainbow jersey gave his opponents colds. With enormous resistance, he pulled himself to the front of the race. There, Van der Poel immediately tried to hop on and over the pack, but a strong Van Aert did not allow that. The Belgian put himself at the front of the race and set the pace - a pace that also suited Michael Vanthourenhout and Tom Pidcock. The man in yellow was also on the ball during a second escape attempt by MVDP. With the final laps in sight, the group of top favorites started to play poker, which seemed to make us headed for a sprint with a larger group. Until Mathieu van der Poel crashed in the penultimate lap. Van Aert reacted like a man possessed and kicked the pack to pieces. Only Michael Vanthourenhout - yesterday's winner in Zonnebeke - was still stuck to his rear tire. On the last sloping section, the European champion also buckled under the pounding of his compatriot. Wout van Aert made it exciting himself with a nasty crash on the beams. On a broken saddle he was the first to cross the finish line. A welcome blow to his eternal rival. Vanthourenhout puffed in second place, Thibau Nys came in a respectable third. Eli Iserbyt secured the overall victory in the World Cup with his 4th place. Van der Poel is disappointed in 5th place.
