Lichtervelde celebrates Joran Wyseure world title

The young cyclocross rider put his municipality in the picture and that is why they wanted to give something back by surprising him with a village festival. First there was a ceremony at the town hall and a little later all supporters and sympathizers gathered on the market to pay tribute to their world champion.

Part of the market was closed off for the occasion and the terraces were expanded with party tables. A DJ provided the appropriate mood music. Recently, a unique World Cup sign has also appeared in the market. It was created by designer Filip Cardoen and poet Dimitri Carpentier, who provided the plate with an appropriate poem.
