Joris Nieuwenhuis prevailed in the Dutch cyclocross championships in Hoogeveen, riding away from teammate Pim Ronhaar midway through the elite men's race and never looking back.
The 27-year-old profited from a mistake from Ronhaar in the first half of the race and continued to open a gap to his younger teammate, who couldn't find purchase for his power in the thick mud, and cruise to the victory.
