Michael Vanthourenhout has won the European Cyclocross Championship in Namur. This is his third victory of the season.
It was raining at the start, which made the race course more slippery. Eli Iserbyt started the race with a nice lead. Kevin Kuhn soon took the lead from Iserbyt. The rain made it hard to ride without meeting a crash. Lars van der Haar was the first to crash.
Michael Vanthourenhout was leading by the end of the second lap. Van der Haar recovered from the crash and joined Vanthourenhout in the front. Quinten Hermans, Laurens Sweeck, Michael Vanthourenhout and Toon Vandebosch met with a major crash just before the start of the fourth lap.
Iserbyt abandoned the race after just completing four laps. Van der Haar met with another crash in the fifth lap and then again in the seventh lap. Vanthourenhout was leading the race in the final lap, Van der Haar was 41 seconds behind him, and Sweeck was almost 2 minutes behind. Hermans also abandoned the race just before the final lap.
Vanthourenhout was the first to cross the finish line and secured the victory. Despite a series of bad luck, Van der Haar was able to climb up the podium for silver. Sweeck finished third.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
