Ceylin Del Carmen Alvarado (Fenix-Premier Tech) took advantage of a final lap mistake by Lucinda Brand (Baloise Verzekeringen-Het Poetsbureau Lions) to solo to victory in the snow and ice of Zonhoven at the ninth round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup.
Alvarado, who is now a back-to-back winner on the famously technical and sandy course, came from behind to triumph, having crashed early on. She'd hit the front after further mistakes from her rivals before going on to lead for most of the closing two laps.
