Alvarado hurtles through the mud and repeats what Brand did a day earlier, Casasola gets surprised

Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado won the Jaarmarktcross in Niel. The Dutch rider was the best from start to finish, and she clearly showed this in a tough mud race.
Cyclo-cross on a Monday? Sure. On the day of the annual commemoration of the armistice in World War I on November 11, 1918, there is always a cyclo-cross race on this date, even on a Monday. Fem van Empel was not present after the European Championship, but with Alvarado and Brand, we had the other two Dutch top riders at the start.
After Brand had claimed victory in Lokeren on Sunday after an extended solo, Alvarado turned the tables one day later. The Fenix-Deceuninck rider was simply the strongest and thus quickly went solo. The gap between Brand and Inge van der Heijden grew with each lap. After three of the five laps, it was already 25 seconds.
That Brand was not having her best day was apparent when she received company in the last two laps from the strong Sara Casasola. Van der Heijden had disappeared from the forefront, but the Italian again became a constant factor for the podium places. In the final lap, she even put Brand under pressure, with Marion Norbert-Riberolle dangerously closing in.
So it was an excellent battle for second place, more than half a minute behind the impressive winner, Alvarado. By running better in the deep mud puddles, Brand secured second place. Behind her, Casasola seemed to be going for place three, but she didn't realize that Norbert-Riberolle had joined her. The Belgian sprinted joyfully to bronze.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
