BeOne riders Elsbeth en Thijs dominate the Dutch nationals.
Monday 21 July 2008
There was no doubt Elsbeth would place highly in the women’s field, having been in top form this year. She stormed to first place this Sunday in Oss.
For the Elite men’s Thijs Al run up as the unexpected winner, defeating the favourite Brentjes, who was heard saying that if anyone could beat him it was Thijs.
With the two titles this weekend the BeOne Chainreactionscycles team can be very proud of the seasons results.
This title for Vink would be her 5th national jersey in women’s XC. A fitting end to her fabulous career as she will retire after her appearance in Bejing this august. There’s high expectations with Elsbeth riding as well as ever.
After his win Thijs will return to train for the coming cyclocross season, where he will compete against the world’s highest level.
