Lucinda Brand wins X2O Trofee Kortrijk
Alvarado and Betsema complete all-Dutch podium at Urban Cross




World champion Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek Lions) took her seventh victory of the 2021-22 cyclo-cross season in Kortrijk on Saturday afternoon.
She came out on top of a duel with fellow Dutchwoman Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Alpecin-Fenix) after falling late on. Denise Betsema (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) completed the podium in the second round of the X2O Trofee.
"It was very tough today," Brand said after the race. "I got stuck at the start due to a crash, after which I had the feeling that the whole peloton was passing me.
"Luckily I was able to move up, but it cost me a lot of energy. I actually thought it was over early on the last lap, but then I fell," she added.
