Without Mathieu van der Poel, Thibau Nys and Michael Vanthourenhout, Laurens Sweeck still revved his engine in the sand of Koksijde. Sweeck engaged in a fierce duel with Tibor del Grosso, but the surprising Dutchman had to pass in the penultimate round. Toon Aerts finished 3rd, X²O leader Eli Iserbyt limited the damage in 6th.
After the cancellations of Michael Vanthourenhout and Mathieu van der Poel in recent days, a DNS also knew this morning the name of Thibau Nys.
Their absence gave the other thoroughbreds an excellent opportunity to shine in Koksijde, but for Niels Vandeputte everything was ruined from the first corner.
Vandeputte was eliminated after a fall in which Eli Iserbyt was also slightly hampered. The leader of the ranking will not play a leading role and will finish 6th.
At the front, Laurens Sweeck was keen to once again underline his status as a sand specialist. With Tibor del Grosso, he had a surprising companion.
The Dutchman even made Sweeck gasp from time to time, but ultimately paid the price for the numerous corrections in the sand.
He was very charming, but the yo-yo had to lower his head on the penultimate lap. A well-deserved victory lap awaited “Sandman” Sweeck in the dunes.
