The first Belgians to take action on day two of the World Cup were in Ostend-Tebode Thomann, and a few moments later also Ewood Froman, in the time trial for the MC2 class riders.

His rival, Frenchman Alexandre Lyot, had to be content with the silver, Briton Matthew Robertson completed the podium. Tibod Thoman was fifteen.

In the women’s class, Nancy Williams finished ninth in the WC2 class.

The men’s tandem opened the afternoon sessions. Belgium is represented by Milan Thomas and his driver Jonas Gaumann (MB), and both gentlemen performed excellently. They rode to third and thus achieved their first podium finish in a UCI World Cup race.
