The podium of the European Road Championships in Glasgow last Sunday very much resembled that of a cyclocross world cup race in the last few years. The only difference being that it was neither Wout van Aert nor Mathieu van der Poel to stand at the very top but Matteo Trentin from Italy of World Tour team Mitchelton-Scott.

Being a good runner Dirksmeier started the first run quite aggressively to reach the first transition zone after less than 20 minutes in the head group.

Wietse Bosmans of ERA-Circus is Belgian Marathon Champion. After 115km on his STEVENS Sonora SL war he out-sprinted Roel Paulissen, who wins Silver at the finish line in Malmedy. For Bosmans who as a cyclocrosser normally is used to races not longer than a little over an hour this is his first title over a long distance. ”I am really proud of that,” he said after the race.

First one-day race after the Tour of Luxemburg was the Grand Prix Aargau – Gippingen in Switzerland on June 6th. In the race categorized as UCI 1.HC, Sean de Bie in a bunch sprint missed the podium by a margin.
