Cant Keeps Winning, De Boer Holds Best Time in Overall BPost Series.

Only a day after an epic battle against Katie Compton at the World Cup in Milton Keynes, Sanne Cant took up her bike for yet another ferocious forty minutes of a one-on-one battle, this time at the Flandriencross Hamme against Ellen van Loy.
Van Loy has been a brilliant starter throughout her career, and today was no exception as she fired forward right from the gates, not only taking the holeshot, but also creating a notable gap between her and the rest of the field a lap in the race. Early on, Cant seemed more content to sit in with the chasing group, looking as if her fight in the World Cup finally took its toll. (cxmagazine.com)
