Marie Schreiber of Team SD Worx-Protime secured her sixth elite victory of the cyclocross season at the Exact Cross series in Maldegem, dominating the slippery conditions. She was joined on the podium by Crelan-Corendon teammates Inge van der Heijden and Sara Casasola. A controversial incident involving disqualifications unfolded behind the leaders when Belgian Jinse Peeters and Dutch rider Manon Bakker clashed in a corner. Schreiber, fresh off her silver medal in the U23 World Championships, is set to shift focus to road cycling after her successful cyclocross performance.
On the sixth of the seven laps, Peeters held the inside position as three riders approached a 90-degree left-hand corner. Bakker moved beside Peeters to make a pass, and the Belgian used her right arm to push Bakker away from close proximity.
Schreiber celebrated her sixth elite cyclocross victory for the season, including a third Luxembourg national championship in January, and earned silver in the U23 division at the World Championships.
