Koksijde

Looks like a nasty course. Lots of sand, much of it uphill. No problem for Nys, though. He wins again, despite crashing twice. More from CN and VN.

On the FGBC side of things, it wasn't the best of days for the professor. Without Albert, who hasn't been racing the World Cups, and with Stybar failing to crack the top 10 for only the second time this season, Andy conceded a bit of ground today. Not only to the dr, but also to the tenor, who has been gaining steadily in the last little while.

We're about a third of the way through the season, and the top 4 are starting to establish a healthy gap on the rest of the field. But there's still plenty of racing to be done and things can change. Especially if injuries come into the mix.

They're back at it again tomorrow for Superprestige #4 in Geiten, Holland.
