doing the "Superwoman" across the line. I personally think the name should be changed to the "Flying Dutchwoman", because if you see it, it means you're not coming in for the win.

The win in the elite men's #Krawatencross in #Lille was for Laurens Sweeck who dropped Lars van der Haar halfway into the final lap and kept him at a few seconds all the way to the finish.
Van der Haar makes up some of the deficit in the overall standings of the #X2Obadkamerstrofee, but not enough to make for an open fight at the finals of these series in Brussels.

Six of a total of eight laps have been ridden in the elite men's #Krawatencross in #Lille.
Laurens Sweeck and Lars van der Haar are still in the lead, with Eli Iserbyt leading the chase 16secs further down. Iserbyt has Pim Ronhaar on his wheel, a team mate of van der Haar who has no intention to close the gap to the leaders. Keep in mind the overall standings of the #X2Obadkamerstrofee are calculated based on time, not points and positions.

The elite women's #Krawatencross in #Lille was highly entertaining: Fem van Empel came back from a bad start, not getting into her pedals. She fought her way back to the lead quickly but got served up with a hard fight against Ceylin Alvarado that only got decided in the final lap.

Lap times seem to be closer to 8min30 for the men's #Krawatencross in #Lille, so the race distance is seven laps. Four laps done, three to go. Laurens Sweeck with 16secs over van Kessel as his first chaser. #cyclocross

Confirming yesterday's strong showing, Laurens Sweeck is leaving all others behind in the men's #Krawatencross. His cold fingers are causing him more issues than the competition. The chasing group has been growing in size for a while now, so its speed can't be too high. #cyclocross

The first rider to finish lap 1 in #Lille is Eli Iserbyt, extending his lead in the trophy standings by 5secs to 2min51. Lap time about 8min50, so that will very likely be a 6 lap race - 7 laps would be a lot. But lets see how the race jury at #Krawatencross decides. #cyclocross
