Cameron Mason won the elite men’s Jaarmarktcross in Niel on Wednesday 11 November, his first Superprestige victory. The British champion pulled away from Joran Wyseure on the final lap to win by 20 seconds. Joris Nieuwenhuis took third, seven seconds behind Wyseure.
How Mason won it in the sand
Kevin Kuhn led early before the front of the race came together. Michael Vanthourenhout was still in the fight for the win when he fell on the penultimate lap; he finished eighth. Cyclingnews and ProCyclingUK report that Mason started the last of eight laps four seconds clear. He rode the sandpit while Wyseure had to get off and run, stretching the gap to about 13 seconds. By the finish it was 20.
