Wellens misses World Cup final

Belgian Bart Wellens (Fidea) will miss this Sunday's final round of the Cyclo-cross World Cup in Lanarvilly, France. Wellens, who has pulled out of several races this season due to lack of form, is ill. His compatriot Sven Nys holds the lead in the World Cup series, but will have to have a good race on Sunday to secure his jersey.
