Sven Nijs wins Superprestige opener, using Di2
Sven Nijs (Landbouwkrediet-Colnago) has returned to the Cyclo-Cross podium where he belongs. Nijs is the leader in the Superprestige classification now, after winning yesterday’s opening race in Ruddervoorde, Belgium.

The only rider who could challenge him was reigning World Champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus), although he clearly had still tired legs after his win the day before in the International Cyclo-Cross of Namur (Belgium).

At the finish, Nijs had a 40 seconds lead over Albert, with Stybar (Czech Republic) finishing third at one minute.

Sven Nijs and Niels Albert are both using SHIMANO DURA-ACE Di2, as well as SHIMANO SH-M310 shoes, DURA-ACE WH-7850-C24-TU wheels and a PRO Vibe handlebar and stem. So at least they are battling each other with equal weapons … We are looking forward to an exciting Cyclo-Cross season!
