Sven Nys claimed his seventh career Belgian 'cross title in a thrilling come-from-behind effort in Oostmalle on Sunday. The Landbouwkrediet-Colnago rider pumped his fists in excitement as he crossed the line three seconds ahead of Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb). Under-23 stand-out Tom Meeusen (Telenet Fidea) salvaged his team's championships with a third place finish ahead of Rob Peeters.
