Eli Iserbyt was finally able to triumph in his 8th Belgian professional championship. For a long time there seemed to be no Superman in Meulebeke, but in the second half of the race Iserbyt crawled out of the mud on the way to gold. Somewhat surprisingly, Joran Wyseure took silver, while outgoing champion Michael Vanthourenhout came third. Thibau Nys only took 6th place.
Without Wout van Aert, who is preparing the away season in Spain, there would be no top favorite at the start in Meulebeke. 4 favorites: Eli Iserbyt, Thibau Nys, Laurens Sweeck and defending champion Michael Vanthourenhout.
Iserbyt really wanted to win his first national title among the professionals. The leader in the World Cup and Superprestige immediately threw in the towel.
Nys had missed his start and had to run after him. After one lap he tapped into the lead again.
Take to the streets quickly with Daily Revelation Joran Wyseure. The young driver showed a lot of power in Meulebeke.
After three laps it was clear that a quartet would fight for victory: Iserbyt, Nys, Vanthourenhout and Wyseure. Not Sweeck, he would only finish eighth.
The 2020 champion also made mistakes on the sand.
Halfway through, Eli Iserbyt thought it was time to strike again. He flew up the slopes and that took the strength of his fellow refugees.
Thibau Nys overdid it. He disappeared from the scene and only finished 6th. On the last lap he saw Niels Vandeputte and Jens Adams pass.
At the climax of the game, things also went too fast for Joran Wyseure and Michael Vanthourenhout. For the first time in his career, Iserbyt won the Belgian professional jersey after seven unsuccessful attempts.
Behind him, a very happy Wyseur rounded off his best day with silver, Vanthourenhout came third.
Four minutes after Iserbyt’s finish, the cyclocross fan was treated to another beautiful scene. Mathijs Wuyts drove to the title among the club riders and came fourth together with his good friend and training partner Thibau Nys.
