CDM Ciclocross, yet another solo by Lucinda Brand

Lucinda Brand steamroller also a Dendermondeeighth test of Cyclocross World Cup 2025/2026. Absolute dominator of this autumn-winter of mud racing, the Dutch girl Baloise Glowi Liions confirmed his superiority by imposing himself also on the Belgian circuit and thus finding number 15^a seasonal victory in 17 races played. The 36-year-old made the difference already in the third of the nine scheduled laps, after an initial phase in which the French Amandine Fouquenet (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) e Célia Gery they had tried to put her in difficulty by starting strong. The youngest of the two transalpines then progressively slipped backwards, while Fouquenet took the third consecutive podium, finishing in third place, overtaken by Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) in the battle for the second.

She was the first Italian to arrive Rebecca Gariboldi (But Colnago Team), 18^a at 2’49”, while he finished 22nd^a the Italian champion Carlotta Borellowhich had started very well and was even fourth at the end of the first lap. Clearly, Brand is increasingly leading the overall Cup standings, having won seven of the eight races held so far (he didn’t win only in Flamanville, where he didn’t race, however). The Dutchwoman now has 280 points, 72 ahead Aniek Van Alphen (Seven Racing), seventh today, and 122 on Fouquenet.
