No racing luck for Eva Lechner

Eva Lechner went into the race on the “high-speed” circuit in Zolder with great ambitions, but a mishap happened in the first corner. Immediately in front of Lechner, several athletes fell. Lechner was unable to avoid it and had to laboriously work his way past the competitors who were lying on the ground. As a result, the woman from Eppan lost a lot of time and a number of positions. Throughout the entire race, Lechner was 15/20 seconds behind the leading group, did her laps alone and still achieved 10th place (+35 seconds) in the final ranking. “It's a shame about the start, but overall I'm very happy with my performance and, above all, the fighting spirit,” said Lechner.

The Netherlands celebrated a double victory: Victory went to Marianne Vos (48.50 minutes) ahead of her teammate Lucinda Brand (+1 second), and local hero, world champion Sanne Cant (+6 seconds) came third. The second “Azzurra”, Alice Arzuffi, crossed the finish line immediately behind Lechner in eleventh place.

The men's elite race was won by Mathieu van der Poel (NED) in a time of 1:02,49 hours, 16 seconds ahead of world champion Wout van Aert (BEL) and 29 seconds ahead of Joris Nieuwenhuis (NED). Jakob Dorigoni came sixth in the U23 race (+1,13 minutes), the young man from Pfatten has already been on the podium twice this season ( SportNews
