Meeusen on top in Gieten

Szczepaniak brothers fill remaining podium spots
Belgian Tom Meeusen took a commanding win in the Superprestige race in Gieten Sunday. The Telenet Fidea rider led the race with Polish U23 champion Kacper Szczepaniak for much of the race, but a bobble on the final lap distanced the Pole.
Lubomír Petruš (BKCP Powerplus) got the hole shot and made the lead group on the first lap with teammate Jim Aernouts, Meeusen and Van Compernolle.
A heavy course and strong winds favored the patient, and Meeusen bided his time before launching an attack that only Kacper Szczepaniak could follow.
Van Compernolle led an elite chase group, but was out-sprinted by Pawel Szczepaniak for third.
