Photos – Superprestige 2012 – Ruddervoorde

We are back after an exciting weekend of cyclocross in Belgium with the opening race of the Superprestige in Ruddervoorde. You can check out the Cyclocross Magazine report, but we have some great photos for you to enjoy from the weekends racing. Congratulations to Nikki Harris on her Superprestige win! The ChainStay sponsored rider Luke Gray rode to a respectable 30th place. His form is coming along and he’s looking forward to a full season in Belgium. The ChainStay guest Alex Revell rode well and was primed to finish his first major Euro UCI race, but trouble with sand and pedals lead to a crash which took out his front wheel and left him pulled from the race.
