It looks like cyclo-cross World champion Wout Van Aert (Crelan-Charles) can only win of Mathieu van der Poel crashes, but he is collecting a lot of second places. In Ruddervoorde on Sunday the Belgian finished only 10 seconds behind Van der Poel, maybe when the bad weather comes, the results will be turned on their heads.

Two cross races at the weekend and two wins for Mathieu van der Poel (Beobank-Corendon). On Sunday he was too good for World champion Wout Van Aert (Crelan-Charles) and Lars van der Haar (Telenet-Fidea) in the Superprestige race in Ruddervoorde.
