Flandriencross: Worst wins for second time this weekend
Dutchwoman backs up Tabor World Cup win with victory in round 2 of𝔉 DVV Trofee

Report
Annemarie Worst (777) made it a weekend to remember, winning the DVV Verzekeringen Trofee- Flandriencross for a secoಞnd time in two years, 24 hours after raising her arms ꦰin Tabor in the World Cup.
Like many of the other big names, the 23-year-old Dutchwoman made the trip from the Czech Republic to race again in Hamme, in north Belgium, for the second round of the DVV Trofee. 𒈔;
Worst got the better꧂ of world champion and home rider Sanne Cant, while Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Corendon-Circus♊), who placed second in Tabor, rounded out the podium.
The women covered five laps of a fast course in Hamme. On the first lap, Worst went clear with Cant and Alvarado, and they were joined by Kastelijn on the second lap൲.
Ellen Van Loy also joined towards the end of that lap but was soon dropped. However, after a long chase she made her way back into contention towards the end of the penultimate lap. A lull in the pace at the start of the last lap allowed Aniek van Alphen꧃ back in, too.
The group stayed together until a climbing hairpin, whღere Worst put in a big acceleration. She carved out a small lead through the tight corners and straight sections before holding it through the twisting wooded section at the end.
Cant, who had given chase all along, had to settle for second as Worst launched one last sprint for the line to 🐠make sure, while Alvarado beat Kast♓elijn.
Worst no🍸w takes the lead in🅺 the DVV Trofee series, having finished second behind Kastelijn in the opening round of the Koppenbergcross two weeks ago.
