Superprestige 2022 – 3 – Jaarmarktcross
Superprestige 2021-2022 is the 40th edition of Superprestige, a competition that takes place between October 3, 2021 and February 12, 2022. The challenge consists of eight rounds for the men’s, women’s elites, U23 and junior elites held in Belgium and the Netherlands. All events are part of the 2021-2022 men’s and women’s cyclo-cross season calendar.
Lucinda Brand (Baloise-Trek) surged to the lead of the Superprestige series after taking the win in the mid-week Jaarmarktcross in Niel.
The reigning World and European Champion caught attacker Annemarie Worst (777) in the closing laps and, after putting in an acceleration to distance her compatriot, capitalized on a last-lap crash to power away to the victory.
Denise Betsema (Pauwels Sauzen) took third.
Riders were critical of changes to the course that included adding a series of offset mounds that were difficult to ride. Former world champion Sanne Cant did not start after crashing multiple times in the recon.
Brand said a bad start and a mechanical hampered her early laps.
“It’s a course where you can use your strength once you have the space. But it was a crappy start and so I was in a rush and hassle on the first lap. My saddle also dropped again, but luckily I noticed that near the pits,” she told Sporza.
“It was a fierce duel. When I caught Worst, I immediately wanted to attack, only I was a bit too enthusiastic and I flew out in the corner. The lap after that I wanted to be better on the same section.
“Last year it was a nicer round than today, I think. Today it was a bit too much, I don’t really like that, but that’s part of it sometimes.”
