Thibau Nys (Baloise Glowi Lions) powered away from Cameron Mason (Seven Racing) in the final lap to win Flandriencross, the third round of the X2O Trofee series in Hamme on Sunday.
After a ferocious start, the two riders were locked in a duel for five laps, each taking a turn at the front to apply pressure on the slippery, muddy course. Both made small mistakes along the way until the Belgian champion seized control by taking a tight inside line through a corner and then made three attacks to accelerate away from the British champion to take his second victory of the series.
