Victor Victorious

The Superprestige series continued today in Veghel-Eerde, Netherlands. Niels Albert very nearly made it two in a row. But a certain Mr. Nys was not about to let that happen. Apparently he's pretty good. Despite going down around a muddy corner and suffering a puncture that allowed Albert to get away, Nys was able to chase back and take the win, eight seconds ahead of Fast Albert. More from CN. Next race is on Saturday with the next instalment in the GVA series.

Nys and Albert are both on Vic's team. So are Peeters and Dieter Vanthourenhout, who also finished in the top 10. Big win for the tenor. He's crept up behind Andy, and now sits just 160 points out of the overall lead. Looks like we've got ourselves a three-way race with half-the season left to go. Sweet.
