Newly topped European cyclo-cross champion Thibau Nys (Baloise Trek Lions) powered away with three laps to go to trip away for the victory at Rapencross, the second spherical of the X2O Trofee.
Niels Vanderputte dropped his Alpecin-Deceuninck Improvement teammate Jente Michels on the ninth and last lap to take second place, crossing the road 5 seconds behind Nys. Michels, the under-23 European cyclo-cross champion, rounded out the rostrum in third place, an extra two seconds again.
