Joris Nieuwenhuis (Baloise Trek Lions) went back-to-back in Superprestige series races and scored a solo victory in Boom on Saturday. Scotsman Cameron Mason (Cyclocross Reds) chased for eight laps and settled for second place, 10 seconds back. Superprestige leader Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) completed the podium in third.

The 27-year-old Dutchman, who won the last round of the Superprestige series in Merksplas, attacked on the second lap of the hilly course and managed to hold a steady pace for the victory. He moved to third place in the series, trailing second-placed Niels Vandeputte (Alpecin-Deceuninck)  by just one point.
