VIDEO: The mind-boggling move of Laurens Sweeck at the Val di Sole World Cup

Cyclocross riders often make racing in brutal tracks easy, and sometimes they impress with the technical skill that they have on the bike. That was certainly the case for Laurens Sweeck this Sunday in Val di Sole as cameras captured an impressive maneuver on the bike.

Whilst the Belgian only rode to sixth place, he put on a good performance in the snow. On lap 2, as he battled with Eli Iserbyt, he overtook his rival on a snow ramp - where many struggled throughout both men's and women's races. On this lap Sweeck did a wheelie and unclipped simultaneously, dismounting from behind in a seamless move without losing any momentum and immediately set off running.

You can watch it in the video down below:
