Is that Sanne Cant in the middle photo (6 down)? She is a beast of a rider from Belgium (where else?)

The two of them were a class apart in this race She's been getting better and better all season. Not sure where Marianne Vos is this season but Cant seems to be the one to beat just now.

Not sure where Marianne Vos is this season but Cant seems to be the one to beat just now. From her Strava she's out in Florida training with the rest of her pro team. Bit different from the mud of Milton Keynes.

It was good to watch it back again, we couldn't see the finish line from where we were for the womens race. (It was nice to meet you the other day and discuss all things Triban)

Great action shots echo7. Many thanks for posting those. Just watched the highlights via Steephill.tv Belgian riders showing the rest how it's done in both elite races. Awesome riding from Kevin Pauwels and Sanne Cant. Although the course lacked some of the variety in terms of surfaces that you see in the continental races the hills, twists and off camber sections look like they made for a challenging ride.

Although the course lacked some of the variety in terms of surfaces that you see in the continental races the hills, twists and off camber sections look like they made for a challenging ride. From what I've read it was a challenging course with more running that usual. There was also a lot of comment about the fact that it was in a town centre so it was easily accessible, not sure if that is usually an issue. I was going to plan a trip to Belgium in the spring to catch a classics race... might have to add another cyclocross event on to the calendar as well. Just a couple more pics...
