Belgian That is, Iserby (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) won this Saturday during the fourth round of theExact Cross. He was 19 seconds ahead of his compatriots Niels Vandeputte (Alpecin-Deceuninck) et Michael Vanthouren wood (Pauwels Sauces – Bingoal). Izerbyt thus confirms its current good form, after its 2nd place last week at the X²0 Bathrooms Trophy in Hamme, and his third place in European Championships early November. He gains confidence before the opening of the Cyclo-cross World Cup this Sunday, with the first round in Antwerp.
“The most important part of the season starts now”
The Belgian runner reacted after the race, considering himself happy with his state of form and his tactics of the day: “I felt really good during the race. I tried several attacks with Michael. I think we ran perfectly as a team today. Michael really deserved to get on this podium. In the group, I already felt that It was going a little too slowly with the wind, it was also difficult to make a real difference, but once you’re alone at the front, you can widen the gap when it slows down behind. It was a good tactic today. “.
He continues: “In previous races we were just riding at a pace with the rest of the peloton in our wheel. That wasn’t the right method, I think. Continuing to attack and see if we can help each other is perhaps a better approach now that there are more good runners at the start”. He ends by talking about the opening of the World Cup: “This victory feels really good. The most important part of the season starts now, with the World Cup, so it’s good for the head. Tomorrow will be a very difficult race. Races in the sand are complicated for me , but I hope to perform well there”concludes the Belgian.
