Indeed. And housing them in decrepit hotels owned by gangsters isn't a good look either #Hoogstraten

Dit is de tot hiertoe oudste handtekening van een voorvader die ik vind. Cornelius Huybrecht Verschueren, mijn oud- overgrootvader als ik het juist heb. Geboren rond 1738. Handtekening van het doopregister voor de doop van zijn zoon Adrianus in 1779, mijn oud-grootvader.
Ik heb zijn doopregister ook gevonden, maar daar stond geen handtekening bij van zijn ouders.
Gevonden met de hulp van een heel hulpvaardig iemand op het archief van #Hoogstraten

Kind of good news regarding David van der Poel who crashed heavily: He's back on his feet, albeit limping and in obvious pain. Let's hope things are not more serious for the other crash victims. #cyclocross #Hoogstraten

Seasonal win number 30 is done and dusted for MVDP in #Hoogstraten who continues his stellar #cyclocross season. HE's also won all 7 #Superprestige races of the season and can make it a perfect season in Middelkerke next week.
Official result men elite:
1. M. van der Poel in 59min42
2. T. Aerts + 0.37
3. C. van Kessel + 0.54
4. E. Iserbyt + 0.58
5. T. Pidcock + 1.21
6. Q. Hermans + 1.35
7. L. van der Haar + 1.50
8. J. Nieuwenhuis + 2.5
9. T. Meeusen st
10. Jens Adams + 2.24

Just when Pidcock had passed Hermans, he crashed at the barriers and needed quite some time to distangle his bike from the barriers. And Aerts continues to chase, but also to make mistakes. MVDP goes into the final lap, en route to seasonal win number 30? #Hoogstraten #cyclocross #Superprestige

Race situation after 6 of 8 laps in #Hoogstraten's #Superprestige race of the men:
1. MVDP in 44min30
2. Toon Aerts + 0.14
3rd and 4th van Kessel, Iserbyt, + 0.48
5. Hermans + 0.57
6. Pidcock + 1.00
The info on David van der Poel is that he hit that wooden pole hard with his knee and could not move the joint after. Same for Gianni Vermeersch - healing vibes to both riders! #cyclocross

Lap 6/8 in #Hoogstraten: Toon Aerts made it back to the wheel of MVDP, but one lap later he goes down in a slippery corner, and the Dutch dominator has another gap. The chasers Iserbyt, Hermans and van Kessel are losing more ground while Pidcock is only 8secs further back. #Superprestige #cyclocross

30mins done in #Hoogstraten, and MVDP has started his #cyclocross masterclass, sweeping up a high line in a nasty off-camber section and riding it. The gap is here: 6 seconds to Toon Aerts. Van Kessel at 18secs, Iserbyt and Hermans at 21secs, Pidcock at 39secs. #Superprestige

Oh no, another bad crash at the very same spot: Gianni Vermeersch goes down hard right next to David van der Poel after he hit a wooden pole. Meanwhile Tom Pidcock has fought his way back to 7th. #Hoogstraten #cyclocross #Superprestige

Standings after lap 3 (of 8) at #Hoogstraten's men elite race

#Superprestige #cyclocross

And the race has been launched for real as MVDP has turned on the screws. Toon Aerts is with him, van Kessel and Hermans have lost contact. And MVDP keeps upping the pace, taking no prisoners in #Hoogstraten. #Superprestige #cyclocross

#Superprestige #Hoogstraten, standings after lap 2

Lap 3 is on, race distance 8 laps.
#cyclocross

At the end of the first lap of the men's #Superprestige race in #Hoogstraten, MVDP has caught up with the two leaders Quinten Hermans and Michael Vanthourenhout, and Toon Aerts has made it to the front as well. This #cyclocross race is on!

Not the fastest start for MVDP while Aerts had a fast start and the wholeshot was for Quinten Hermans. Even worse start for Pidcock, Dieter Vanthourenhout and Wietse Bosmans who got delayed by a crash in the bunch. But within a few hundred meters MVDP has moved up to 6th and Aerts has dropped to 10th.

Riders are lining up for the men's #Superprestige race in #Hoogstraten. Can MVDP go for 8 out od 8 in this season? Or can anyone challenge the Dutch dominator of #cyclocross? The next hour in the rain and mud will tell!

Cant's final attack stuck, she puts her power to good use in #Hoogstraten's deep mud, extending her lead in the overall of the #Superprestige.
Top5 of the women's elite race:
1. Sanne Cant in 41mins55
2. Annemarie Worst + 0.10
3. Denise Betsema + 0.14
4. Loes Sels, + 0.31
5. Ceylin Alvarado + 0.58
#cyclocross

Going into the final lap, and Annemarie Worst made it back to Cant thanks to her own the latter stumbling on the stairs. But Cant is not having it and tries to get away again. Plenty of suspense in the fight for 3rd as well. #Hoogstraten #cyclocross #Superprestige

#Superprestige #Hoogstraten, race situation after 3 of 5 laps:
1. Cant
2. Worst + 0.03
3. Betsema + 0.13
4. Sels / Alvarado + 0.17
One lesser-known rider who crashed head first on a muddy slope is being brought to the ambulance on a stretcher. Hope she's not hurt too badly. Healing vibes to her! #cyclocross

The race distance for the women's #Superprestige race in #Hoogstraten is 5 laps. The leaders are currently halfways into the 3rd lap, so half of the race has been ridden and Cant is starting to distance Worst. #cyclocross

Betsema and Alvardo have caught up with Sels in the fight for 3rd, and Inge van der Heijden is on their wheels as well. Gap to Cant and worst at 12secs, so more or less stable. #Hoogstraten #cyclocross #Superprestige
