"The season is definitely not over yet" - Michael Vanthourenhout after victory in Parkcross Maldegem

The Parkcross Maldegem saw Michael Vanthourenhout beat Laurens Sweeck in a sprint, gaining his seventh victory of the current season.
The majority of the race saw a close contest between Eli Iserbyt and Sweeck.“Ryan Kamp and I had to bite to stay in the wheel with them. It is not easy when those men open their throttle,” he told Het Nieuwsblad.
In the final lap, Sweeck was in front, but the Belgian champion caught him off guard. “In the end, I had to give everything to be the first to use that last part of sand. That worked, and I was also the first to pull into the last straight line.”
He was fifth at Hoogerheide, however, this victory can act as a remedy. “The World Championship was good, but not great. There will be another very important cross on Saturday. In Middelkerke, I try to keep my second place in the Superprestige, and then some nice races follow. So the season is definitely not over yet,” concluded Vanthourenhout.

- Wrong, CrashJames. Frankie a ringleader of the Motorola doping scheme along with Armstrong. Armstrong made his career. And Lemond--you are still clinging to his miracle of "iron injections"? Bless your heart.
MarkFour25-11-2024 - Wrong. Bassons himself said that leaving pro cycling was the best thing that ever happened to him. You don't belong in these comments, or anywhere near a bike.MarkFour25-11-2024
- Agree, it is incomplete to omit the doped peloton. Lance was just better at it, a bigger liar, and vindictively went after people to protect the secret. Look how many results had to be restated, where other riders were also stripped of their results, and the problems ex us postal riders faced because their doping programs were not as good as postal. Why we continue to spend any time on this a$$h0le is beyond me.Crashjames25-11-2024

- Not all riders in the peloton were using drugs, or using them to the same degree. Plenty of books published from cyclists saying they didn’t all get access to the same stuff whether they wanted it or not. Christophe Basons is just one of many who were outcast for not joining the program. Many new young riders were sent home if they didn’t abide by Lances rules. Andy Hampsten is another clean rider who refused to dope.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- Lance lied, cheated, & destroyed lives during his entire cycling career. He claimed to enter the sport as a clean athlete, but there is evidence was already well into using banned substances as a triathlete. Lance is still lying about his use of banned substances & blood transfusions during his return to competition with Astana team.PhilRidesBikes25-11-2024
- I still can't believe how her teammates treated her that day. Her teammate literally sideswiped her and took her out and then after the race, the teammate claimed that she saw something yellow fall but she kept riding because she was going for the stage win (but finished 8th in the sprint). What the actual heck...Pogboom25-11-2024
