In a battle of Crelan-Corendon teammates, Sara Casasola saved a final explosive transfer for the ultimate straightaway and edged Marion Norbert-Riberolle by one second at X2O Trofee Brussels – Brussels Universities Cyclocross. Lucinda Brand (Baloise Glowi) completed 39 seconds again in third.
Casasola scored her first victory of the season, which was a redemptive experience from an in depth second-place to Brand on Saturday on the closing Exact Cross contest in Sint-Niklaas.
Earlier within the season Brand had already locked up the X2O Trophee collection total, so didn’t want the win Sunday at Brussels Universities Cyclocross. For the Italian winner, she locked up third total within the eighth and closing contest.
Dutch riders Denise Betsema (Pauwels Sauzen-Cibel Clementines) and Annemarie Worst (Seven Racing) accomplished the highest 5 on Sunday within the X2O Trophee C1 race, with Worst crashing early within the race and chasing all day. She held on for second total within the collection.
Similar to the Exact Cross contest on Saturday, Casasola tagged together with teammate Inge van der Heijden on the entrance of the race. Eventually, Belgian champion Norbert-Riberolle made her approach to the entrance along with her teammates, however Van der Heijden then suffered a flat tyre and misplaced helpful time she might by no means recuperate, which resulted within the two-rider dash taken by Casasola.
