Al Tops in Zolder

The podium at the 7th round of the World Cup in Zolder today had a bit of a different look to it. Nys was not there. Nor was Boom. Albert showed up to race, but he's not back to peak condition yet. Instead, it was Thijs Al who pulled off his second big win in the last week. Pauwels took second and Sven Vanthourenhout was third. The Americans fared a little better, but still weren't able to crack the top 20. Driscoll finished 26th and Trebon was 27th. Page didn't show up at all. Full story from CN.

For the women, it was Vos followed by Kupfernagel and Van den Brand. All of the top Americans were there, and they all finished in the top 10. Wendy Simms was there too. She finished 9th. More from CN.

In the FGBC Pool, it was kind of like the men's race. No Gary. No Johnny M. He was in dead last. Not good for the battle with Gary. Instead, it was Chris A standing atop the podium with 765 points. Olli was second with 630 and Rachel rounded out the top three with 595 points.
