Joris Nieuwenhuis (Ridley) powered away from Michael Vanthourenhout (Pauwels Sauzen-Altez Industriebouw) inside of four laps to go to solo to victory at X2O Trofee Rapencross on Sunday, in Lokeren and claim his second victory of the 2025-26 cyclocross season.

Although Nieuwenhuis made a minor slip in a corner during the final laps – his only mistake of the race – the Dutch rider had ample time to recover and still crossed the line 48 seconds ahead of his nearest rival. Second-place finisher Vanthourenhout has placed on the podium in all six cyclocross races he has completed this season.
