Laura Verdonschot beats Bentveld and van Alphen to win Rucphen Cross

The Rucphen Cross had no broadcast today, but away from the TV screens we have had a tremendous performance from Laura Verdonschot to take her first win of the season in the Netherlands/Belgium. She was the fastest in the Dutch event, that featured a few strong quality riders.

After her 7th place at the European Championships where we've had the opportunity to talk to Verdonschot, she has continued to prove her strong form and today took her seventh win of the season - having won four in Great Britain and two in Spain before the 'traditional' start to the season. Leonie Bentveld and Aniek van Alphen completed the podium, followed by Manon Bakker.
