Wout Van Aert (Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace) won the fourth round of the Superprestige series on Sunday. He finished alone and strengthened his Superprestige lead while Sven Nys (Crelan-AA Drink) beat Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Napoleon Games) in the sprint for second place.
“During my time at the Men U23 level I won it three times in the same way. Now I did it again with the pro riders. Of course I’m very happy,” Van Aert told Sporza.
“The classification is looking very good now. I extend my lead again. Of course I will now aim to get the overall victory. It’ll make the planning difficult but if you can win a cyclo-cross classic like the Superprestige then you don’t walk away from it.”

It took three laps until the four protagonists of today’s race separated the men from the boys on the muddy course. In the opening lap Van Aert played his card first when he bridged up to early attacker Laurens Sweeck (Era Real Estate – Murprotec).
Lars van der Haar (Giant-Alpecin) followed a little later and by the end of the opening lap Nys and many more riders came back too. The major absentees were Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) and Swiss champion Julien Taramarcaz (Era Real Estate – Murprotec).
Meeusen broke his chain at the start and Taramarcaz nearly rode into him and crashed with Stan Godrie.
