Brentjens wins his namesake race
Turpign takes women's victory
Bart Brentjens won the fifth edition of his namesake race on Sunday. Signficant rainfall made the Challenge even harder than usual and kept some participants away.
The race started by the Voerstreek in Belgium, continued through the South Limburg hills and then headed back to finish Eijsden.
Brentjens took the men's win with a time of 3:34:31 ahead of Nicolas Vermeul while Laura Turpign won the women's race in 4:18:50. Monique Zeldenrust (Ned) was second, and Nicoletta de Jager was third.
