Slicing through the Sardinian Mud

 

Lucinda Brand keeps her astonishing consistent streak alive as she claimed her ninth victory of the season, and her 52nd consecutive podium at the World Cup in Terralba, Sardinia. 

Michael Vanthourenhout used his sand skills with a sharp final-lap move, out-kicking Joris Nieuwenhuis and Laurens Sweeck in a cagey five-rider showdown on the Sardinian mud.

“I feel I was a little bit better on the sand sections. It was difficult to fight for the positions and then the last lap, I gave everything.”
