2016 UCI CYCLO-CROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

In the race final Wout Van Aert (Belgium) fought back from mid-race error to claim the Santini rainbow jersey in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium. Van Aert was able to shake off Dutch rider Lars van der Haar at the final climb and finish solo on the former F1 car racing circuit in front of thousands of fans. Defending World champion Mathieu van der Poel (Netherlands) sat up just before the finish while riding in third place and he was passed by Kevin Pauwels (Belgium) and veteran Sven Nys (Belgium). Nys rode his final World championships race.

In the youth categories three new World champions were crowned: Eli Iserbyt (Belgium) in the Men Under 23 category, Evie Richards (Great-Britain) in the Women Under 23 category and Jens Dekker (Netherlands) in the Men Juniors category.

Looking forward to next year's UCI Cyclo-cross World championships which will be held in Luxembourg.
