Stybar returns to 'cross physically fresh, mentally tired

The return of world champion Zdenek Stybar (Telenet-Fidea) to cyclo-cross hasn't gone unnoticed. After being out of competition for a month due to a knee injury the Czech made his comeback in Diegem on Monday evening. Stybar finished third at a respectable distance behind winner Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) and unlucky runner-up Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet). Two days later in Loenhout the podium and race summary were repeated.
