UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup: Thibau Nys wins in Dendermonde as Wout van Aert takes sixth

Thibau Nys (Baloise Glowi Lions) claimed a sprint victory in the eighth round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Dendermonde, out-pacing Tibor del Grosso (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and series leader Laurens Sweeck (Crelan-Corendon).

In the absence of Mathieu van der Poel, who sat out the race, the short loop was fast and the gaps were small. Wout van Aert (Visma-Lease a BIke), looking to take his first win of the year, was unable to contest for the victory despite a late attack, and settled for sixth.
