Jurgen Mettepenningen was a satisfied man after the last two cyclocrosses in Gavere and Heusden-Zolder. His elite riders rode good races, which gives hope for the rest of the Christmas period. Now the full aim will be on
Eli Iserbyt winning the regularity rankings, as
Denise Betsema tries to fight her way to a podium in the remainder of this season.
"I still expect that Denise has the potential to compete in the top 5 and sometimes climb onto the podium herself," the
Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal boss tells WielerFlits. "I hope that she can confirm what she has now achieved in the coming weeks. That will also be necessary."
