After Sanne Cant won the women's race, the men's Otegem Cross, Toon Aerts has given another one for the veterans. He has taken his first win since his comeback and beat Laurens Sweeck to win the post nationals cross.
The Belgian cross had a modest startlist today but it could still count on a few top riders. Over the opening laps of the race there was a selection at the front and over most of the race the leading group included Eli Iserbyt, Laurens Sweeck, Joran Wyseure and Toon Aerts who was closeby.
It was a fast and explosive circuit and in the end Aerts managed to get back to the front and in the final sprint put in a great finale to take his first win since his two-year suspension. He topped Laurens Sweeck on the spring whilst Joran Wyseure who finished third on the day.
