Dutch dominate junior podium at Belgian World Cup

Gert-Jan Bosman this morning led a Dutch domination of the second round of the for junior men's International Cycling Union's (UCI) Cyclo-cross World Cup Koksijde, Belgium. Eventual winner Bosman won after he distanced the rest of the field right from the start.

"I had a gap after the first corners and the coach shouted: go. I went for it, although I didn't go flat out right away. It helped that I received special tyres from my club," Bosman told Cyclingnews after his victory. "This is a confirmation for me. We'll see what follows. Hopefully tomorrow I can win as well on home soil in Gieten," Bosman added.

World Cup leader Emilien Viennet struggled in the sand and finished on an anonymous 16th place. "I knew my form wasn't all that. It should go better from now on, so hopefully it'll be good in Roubaix and during the [National] Championships," Viennet told Cyclingnews.

US-starter Chris Wallace didn't have a good day after experiencing mechanical issues and finished 43th.
