Theuns wins Ruddervoorde Race
The Sint-Eloois Prize was at its 67st edition, and with former winners such as Mathieu van der Poel and Tim Merlier on the honors list, you know that no pancake wins.
Already in the first round, Samuel Leroux and Edward Theuns have lit the fire, they are also in the leading group of 22, which remarkably enough contains a lot of cyclo-cross riders such as Joran Wyseure, Gerben Kuypers, Thijs Aerts, David van der Poel and Ryan Camp. Thomas Joseph from Tarteletto and Kenny Molly from the Roubaix team also made the jump. Roubaix and Alpecin-Deceuninck are outnumbered in front, each with 4 males. Another interesting name, the Dutchman Bert-Jan Lindeman.
Stan Dewulf was surprised, he is among the first pursuers, together with Timothy Dupont Jelle Wallays, Tom Van Asbrouck, Timo Kielich, Alex Colman and Arno Claeys, among others.
In the end it is an elite leading group of 11 who decide among themselves who will win, Edward Theuns is the fastest, ahead of Leroux and van der Poel.
