Marion Norbert Riberolle (Crelan-Corendon) was an emphatic winner of Exact Cross Zonnebeke, forging clear on the opening lap to win by 34 seconds from Larissa Hartog, while Clara Honsinger took third at 1:46.

With so many absentees ahead of Sunday’s World Cup in Benidorm, the Belgian was the favourite and she lived up to her billing. Norbert Riberolle was in complete control on a course flecked with snow after a week of frigid temperatures across northern Europe.
