American Katie Compton (Planet Bike) took her 11th win of the season on Sunday at the Superprestige race, winning in Gavere for the third year in a row.
The opening round of the women's Superprestige series tested the riders with thick mud all along the undulating course. Van Den Brand took the lead on the first lap as Compton, Vos and Belgian Sanne Cant formed the chasing group.
The American waited until the second lap to make her move, then powered up to the Dutch champion's wheel, leaving Vos chasing behind.
Compton surged on the steep, muddy run-up and left Van Den Brand behind and soloed for the remainder of the race to victory.
Van Den Brand and Vos chased together until the World Champion dislodged Van Den Brand to claim second.
