Sanne van Paassen (BrainWash) won the GP Neerpelt on Sunday, besting compatriot Daphny van den Brand (ZZPR.nl-Destil) and Belgian champion Sanne Cant (BKCP-Powerplus).
"The season starting with two wins is great," said Van Paassen. "My ambition is to win a World Cup and to finish high in that classification.
"Last year I came into the big 'cross races a little short. Especially technically, I was often just below the top, but I have trained hard to eliminate that difference. Here I have made a difference on a hilly course."
