German visitor Johannes Sickmuller powered to victory over a super-fast second round of the National Trophy Cyclo-Cross Series in Derby on Sunday, holding off current series leader Paul Oldham by 24 seconds.
The Stevens RT rider looked strong as he bounced back from a fall on the second lap to take the win in an eventful race.
Oldham took a tumble on the first lap, leaving Sickmuller to race ahead alongside Belgium rival Jan Van Dael, who was second behind Oldham in the opening round a fortnight ago.
Oldham recovered quickly enough to stay in touch and rode with another Belgian rider, Kris Lapere, but when Sickmuller fell and took Van Dael with him, the Lancashire rider saw his chance and attacked.
Sickmuller was up quickly and rode away aggressively out of trouble, and although Oldham chased hard he couldn’t catch his rival.
