Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Alpecin-Deceuninck) scored her second win of the 2023-24 cyclocross season, soloing to victory at the third round of the Superprestige series in Niel.

The win is the second in a row of the Superprestige series for the Dutchwoman after she won in Ruddervoorde two weeks ago. She left the rest of the field behind on the opening lap of the extremely muddy race, holding her advantage to the finish.
