The UEC European Cyclocross Championships were held in Silvelle, Italy over the weekend, with the top riders set to do battle over a mostly flat and bumpy course. In the Men’s Elite race, the final result was no surprise: Mathieu Van Der Poel wins.

After a heart-breaking finish to the UCI Road World Championships, which saw Van Der Poel completely crack while in the winning move at 15km to go, the Dutchman returned to racing last weekend at the Superprestige Ruddervoorde.

Last week, the world’s best cyclists headed to Yorkshire, England for the UCI Road World Championships. The events included both road races and individual time trials for Junior Men and Women, U23 Men, and Elite Men and Women, as well as a new Mixed Relay Team Time Trial.
