Current cyclo-cross world champion Hanka Kupfernagel added another title to her palmares when she was crowned women's European champion in Lievin, France, last Sunday. Pitted against the likes of Czech rider Katerina Nash and in-form French rider Maryline Salvetat, Kupfernagel took a comfortable three-second win to cement her place at the top of the tree in women's cyclo-cross.
