The latest round of UCI
World Cup action took place on Sunday in Dendermonde and there was plenty of action and drama from a very entertaining day.
In the women's race, Fem van Empel was absent, continuing her rest and recuperation and in the World Champion's absence,
Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado once again asserted her dominance. Fighting off competition from the likes of the returning
Lucinda Brand and the British National Champion Zoe Backstedt, Alvarado was a comfortable winner.
