Wyman wins again
Helen Wyman won the Fidea Jaarmarktcross in Niel, Belgium yesterday, her third win of the season.
Showing renewed confidence after a win in Koppenberg recently, and a bronze medal at the European championships at the weekend, Wyman stayed at the front of the race throughout.
"I made a mistake on the first lap, but on a course like this, mistakes are going to happen,"Wyman said. "It's about who deals with them the best. For me these conditions aren't too hard, but I think it's pretty grim for the pit-crew."
"Winning's a habit, and its one habit I'm not looking to change. I've been on the podium in my last five races, and when the conditions are right, I'm always confident of taking the win."
"But this season I'm much more confident on all courses. Last week was a good ride for me at the European Championships on a totally different type of course.'
Britain's Nikki Harris finished fourth.

The Endura team boosted it's 2011 roster by signing Dave Clarke from Pendragon Le Col.

I am relishing the thought of all the up and coming challenges of a great calendar of racing."
"When you are given a chance like this, you have to embrace it, give it your all and reach your full potential. I intend to give this everything. There is some unbelievable talent on the team, but as a unit we have something even greater."
