Superprestige Merksplas: Laurens Sweeck wins tactical fast race

Laurens Sweeck (Crelan-Corendon) waited until the final lap to put in a big attack to claim his third win of the 2024-25 cyclocross season at the fourth round of the Superprestige in Merksplas.

In a fast and tactical race, Sweeck overtook Toon Aerts (Deschacht-Hens-FSP) at the front of a 10-rider group to take the lead into the sand pit, building a two-second gap on his way to victory. Aerts held on for  second place while Lars van der Haar edged out his Baloise Trek Lions teammate Thibau Nys for third.
