Baloise Trek Lions dominated proceedings at the elite men’s race of the Dutch National Cyclocross Championships, with Lars van der Haar leading home teammate Joris Nieuwenhuis after the pair had led the race almost start to finish.

The race, run in heavy rain in Zaltbommel, took in seven laps of a course that only got wetter and muddier as laps ran on.
