Helen Wyman wins Superprestige Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium
Brit riders Helen Wyman and Nikki Harris score a one-two in the fifth round of the Superprestige cyclo-cross series in Belgium
British cyclo-cross national champion Helen Wyman (Kona) won the fifth round of the Superprestige cyclo-cross series in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, on Sunday.
Fellow Brit Nikki Harris (Telenet-Fidea) had been one of the main animators of the women's race, leading into the finale before being caught up by Wyman.
The pair then led the field into the final climb as Wyman moved ahead, with Harris finishing just eight seconds behind. Dutchwoman Sanne Van Paassen (Boels-Dolmans) finished in third spot.
Jolien Verschueren (Telenet-Fidea) finished in fifth spot to claim the series lead from the absent Sanne Cant (Enertherm-BKCP), who missed the round due to injury.
In the men's race, Wout Van Aert (Vastgoedservice-Golden Palace) took the victory ahead of fellow Belgians Sven Nys (Crelan-AA Drink) and Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Napoleon Games).

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
