The race: Here is a machine translation of the race organizer's report:

Laurens Sweeck has crowned himself the winner of the Rectavit Flandriencross by one wheel length. The man from Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal was just faster than Toon Aerts. Eli Iserbyt finished in third place.

Aerts defended his large lead in the general classification in Hamme. He did that with gusto, because already in the first lap Aerts dashed off. Van Kessel was the only one who seemed to be able to keep up, but he too could not keep up with the blistering pace. Aerts completed the first lap fastest and took the full loot of bonus seconds. Van Kessel took ten seconds, Iserbyt grabbed five seconds.

Even with the bonus seconds in his pocket, Aerts did not let his engine stop. The leader in the X²O Bathrooms Trophy kept the pedals going and continued to expand his lead over the competition. That competition was first led by Van Kessel, but later Sweeck took over command. However, the creeping danger came from further behind, as Pidcock also reported back to the front after a bad start.

The Brit maneuvered into second place and made Aerts his next target. The frontrunner was quickly grabbed by the scruff of the neck and had to leave the lead to Pidcock. Pidcock's flair and pace made everyone think he would cycle to victory, but a lap later the Brit suffered a massive setback. As a result, the leading group was again populated by Aerts, Sweeck, Pidcock and an approaching Iserbyt.

The quartet started the final lap, with Pidcock starting to press the accelerator again. However, he gave a little too hard on the gas, because in an innocent corner the Brit slipped. Aerts and Sweeck were just able to avoid him and immediately moved on. Iserbyt also tried to follow, but his tank seemed empty. The two of them eventually headed for the finish line. Sweeck started the sprint first and was able to hold off Aerts for the win in the nick of time. With one wheel length lead, Sweeck was crowned the winner of the Flandriencross. Aerts finished second, Iserbyt third.

Epictetus' Golden Sayings

The Golden Sayings of Epictetus is available as an audiobook here. For the Kindle eBook version, just click on the Amazon link on the right.

The race: Here's a machine translation of the race organizer's report.

Lucinda Brand has won the Rectavit Flandriencross in Hamme. The Dutch world champion crossed the line solo, ahead of teammate Shirin Van Anrooij and Denise Betsema. Because of her victory, Brand is also the new leader in the general classification of the X²O Badkamers Trophy.

From the start signal, Brand immediately took flight. However, the world champion was soon joined by Betsema. The duo pushed hard, especially with the bonus seconds at the end of the first lap in sight. Brand won the sprint from Betsema, so that she virtually took over the lead in the general classification.

Afterwards, the leading duo dropped the pace, allowing the pursuers to rejoin. Van Anrooij in particular showed herself to be active, but Alvarado and others were also able to keep up (for a while). However, the leading group did not stay together for long, because when Betsema got stuck in the mud, that was the signal for Brand to switch up a gear.

Initially, Van Anrooij was able to follow her teammate, but Brand's pace turned out to be too strong. She then had to let her go, along with Betsema, who had to give chase. Brand, however, was unleashed and systematically deepened her lead. The bird seemed to be flying.

The battle for second place promised to be a tough one. After all, Van Anrooij and Betsema were evenly matched. With a view to the general classification, Betsema had to fight for every second, but Van Anrooij also had an excellent day. Betsema did not get past Van Anrooij in the sprint.

But the winner of the Flandriencross was of course Brand. The Dutch world champion crossed the line solo with a lead of 16 seconds over Van Anrooij and 18 seconds over Betsema. As a result, Brand immediately crowns herself as the new leader in the general classification of the X²O Bathrooms Trophy.
