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.
#cyclocross

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.

20mins into the elite men's race at #Lille's #Krawatencross, Laurens Sweeck and Lars van der Haar are in the race lead, Pim Ronhaar is on his own in 3rd and Iserbyt is riding in the third group on course after a tumble in the sand.

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

As so often this season Quinten Hermans is the fastest starter, leading Iserbyt, Toon Aerts, Laurens Sweeck and Lars van der Haar. Let's see what the lap times say: 8mins and 7 laps? #cyclocross #Krawatencross

The men are lining up for the #Krawatencross. Iserbyt is 2min46 ahead of Toon Aerts in the Trophy standing, so he should not lose this one anymore, really. Will Team Pauwels Sauzen try to dominate the race as they did in Middelkerke yesterday? #cyclocross

Wow, that was a nailbiter: Brand attacked at the beginning of the last lap, Alvardo followed and won the sprint in the end. By finishing in 2nd Brand won the overall of the Trophy, and Sanne Cant missed out on the podium losing the sprint for 3rd to Betsema after what was easily her best performance in this #cyclocross season. Another Dutch podium sweep at the #Krawatencross in #Lille.

Lucinda Brand attacks hard going into the final lap in #Lille. Alvarado tries to counter and Cant and Betsema try to keep up with these two. Worst is losing contact. Four riders still fighting for a win at the #Krawatencross with Brand getting closer to the overall win in the X20 badkamers Trophy. #cyclocross

The race distance for the women at the #Krawatencross will be 5 laps, leading to a long race. Three laps in, Cant and Betsema lead from Alvarado with Worst and Brand further behind.
Those 22secs that Brand still has on Betsema in the overall standings of the X2O Badkamers Trophy are getting in serious danger now! #cyclocross

Update from #Krawatencross:
At the end of the first lap, Betsema got 15secs bonifications with Brand only getting 5secs for 3rd. So the gap in the overall standings is down from 32 to 22secs between Brand and Betsema. Betsema opted for a deeper tire tread in lap 2 but can't profit from that choice yet. #cyclocross

The first lap in the women's race at #Krawatencross has been covered in about 9min50. Race distance could be 4 or 5 laps, then. Betsema still leading from local hero Cant with Alvardo, Brand and Worst chasing. #cyclocross

Today's #cyclocross race is the #Krawatencross ridden in #Lille. Plenty of fresh snow on the course for the women's race. The holeshot is for Betsema with Alvarado and Cant in tow.

First win of the #cyclocross season for Wout Van Aert at the #Krawatencross in Lille. Quinten Hermans 2nd at 20secs and a proper photo finish between Toon Aerts and Laurens Sweeck for 3rd at 40secs, with Aerts having a slight advantage.

FInal lap in the men's #Krawatencross, and Wout Van Aert is 23secs ahead of Quinten Hermans. For 3rd, the fight is wide open as Laurens Sweeck has been joined by seven other riders. So from P3 to P10 they're riding in one group for now. #cyclocross #Lille

With two laps to go in the men's #Krawatencross, Wout Van Aert has 19secs over Quinten Hermans and 33secs over Laurens Sweeck who still has a fight at hand with Iserbyt and van der Haar for 3rd. It has started to rain now, but the sandy course should easily hold up. #Lille #cyclocross

As soon as he made it to the front of the men's #Krawatencross, Wout Van Aert has attacked. He's built a lead of 18secs over Quinten Hermans and Laurens Sweeck with Lars van der Haar, Eli Iserbyt and Michael Vanthourenhout riding in a third group. #Lille #cyclocross
