Marianne Vos has won the Urban Cross Kortrijk. She gained the lead in the second lap and maintained it till the end to secure her first CX victory of the season.
Zoe Backstedt had a nice start. Lucinda Brand followed her along with Marianne Vos. Soon Denise Betsema and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado joined Vos in her chase. Brand was leading by the end of the lap.
Brand lost the lead in the second lap as she got stuck behind her saddle when remounting. Vos was leading while Alvarado and Betsema followed her. Brand was still trying to join the trio at the front.
In the last lap, Vos and Betsema dropped Alvarado, but she recovered quickly, and this time, it was Betsema who went down. Having crossed the finish line first, Marianne Vos claimed her first CX victory of the season. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado finished second, while Denise Betsema took the bronze.

- Fuuuuuuck, Ciccone and Pidcock on the same team, attacking like crazy and taking it to the other competitors? Yes, please.Occam11-11-2026
- Oh Cameron, this win has been a long time coming! We could not be more proud. All I’ll say is: roll on Glasgow 🔥anonymouscyclist11-11-2026
- Ayuso is another guy riding for GC but won't be able to consistently do it. Almost all of these guys, Skjelmose included, would be better off targeting shorter stage races or one-day races rather than shooting for a GT top-five.Occam11-11-2026
- Awesome. Because you didn't like him, he sucks. Good Lord, you're tendentious. And you write like a 15 yo locked in his room after school.Occam11-11-2026
- He's another guy that got caught up in the hype for GC at GT's. That's a fool's errand for most riders. Clearly, he's in the right spot now, looking at what he's done as a team domestique. Regularly blowing apart the peloton, and in particular, his ride at World's was stellar.Occam11-11-2026
- The conditions there were absolutely heavenly. No wonder that Vanthourenhout was literally sucked into the ground. I think Mason and Wyseure are very similar types of riders. We've seen that when Vanthourenhout has been in a similar position to where Mason was, and Wyseure has had the legs, he's been able to power his way back. But that's not quite possible when Mason is putting out more power in front.
Rafionain-Glas11-11-2026 - What a win! It's been been so long in the waiting but I'm so glad for Cameron that he's finally got that victory. Sad to see Brand crash out like that. It didn't look too bad initially but there was clearly something very wrong. It could be like van Aert's last yearRafionain-Glas11-11-2026
- since you called pidcock pogi's BIG RIVAL in another article a few days ago ... i guess adding ciccone to the mix makes him almost unbeatable, no?Ketterechts11-11-2026

- When you have four or five guys who are defined leaders of teams that are winning races or at least placing highly in big races, a lot of guys who are racing will not be seen as assets to those teams. If they can't be part of the program then they are let go. I remember back if you won a single stage of the Tour and maybe had a good classic result you would have a cemented place on a team. That is not the case now in the era we live in because the top guys are so good and their goals are so defined. It's bad in a way for them but good for us as fans.awp11-11-2026
