At the same time as the French Cyclo-Cross Championships, the other national championships take place this weekend. On the Belgian side, the festivities began in Heusden-Zolder. Indeed, the women’s race took place this Saturday. After 15 years of domination of Sanne Cant, the future retiree gave way to the younger ones by not participating in this edition. Marion Norbert Riberolle (Crelan-Corendon) won and will wear the Belgian champion jersey for a year.

Catastrophic departure
Norbert Riberolle however, had a catastrophic start, first losing several places at the start before slipping, breaking his front wheel, and having to change bikes. But Norbert Riberolle made great efforts to manage to catch up with the leading girls on the third of five laps. As soon as she managed to get back to the front of the race, the runner of the Crelan-Corendon let go of his opponents to win alone. Laura Verdonschot et Julie Brewers complete the podium.
