UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup: Pauwels and Vos claim their first wins of the season

The French round of the Patrick UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Pont-Château on Sunday resulted in wins for Kevin Pauwels (Telenet-Fidea) and Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit). Going into the last round of the World Cup Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) and Sanne van Paassen (NED) enjoy a comfortable lead in the overall rankings.

Men Elite: First big victory of the season for Pauwels

Pauwels and Albert distanced the rest of the field during the fourth of eleven laps yesterday, maintaining their lead until they hit the final lap. The duo stormed side-by-side to the final corner that led to the finishing straight. Albert was forced to take the outside of the corner and lost speed when trying to stay away from the fence. Pauwels easily won the sprint and thus grabbed his biggest win of the season. Albert's second place offers him a comfortable position to defend his lead in the final round of the World Cup in Hoogerheide (NED) next week. Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) emerged first out of a large chase group and his third place resulted in an entirely Belgian podium in France. Local rider Steve Chainel (FDJ) narrowly missed out on the podium, taking fourth place.

2010-2011 UCI Patrick Cyclo-cross World Cup: Snow and ice can't stop Boom and Compton

The heavy snow showers of the last week turned the former F1 car racing circuit in Zolder, Belgium into a challenging cyclo-cross course for the UCI Patrick Cyclo-cross World Cup.

Dutch champion Lars Boom (Rabobank) bested World Cup leader Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) in the difficult circumstances in the Elite Men category. Nevertheless Albert strengthened his World Cup lead over Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet).

The win from Katherine Compton (USA) in the Women's category moves the US-champion ahead of former leader Sanne van Paassen (The Netherlands) in the lead of the World Cup.

Young Tom Meeusen (Telenet-Fidea) and Katherine Compton (USA) dealt best with the cold weather and snow that was a major feature of the fifth round of the Patrick UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Kalmthout (BEL).

After a tactical race, Meeusen won the sprint from Belgian Champion Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) and his compatriot Kevin Pauwels (Telenet-Fidea). Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) remains in the lead of the overall World Cup standings. US Champion Compton showed great skills and held off a strong ride from Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit), netting her third World Cup victory of the season. The Czech Katerina Nash took third place in front of Sanne van Paassen (NED), whose fourth place was just enough to keep her ahead of Compton in the World Cup standings. Vincent Baestaens (BEL) in the Men Under 23 category and Laurens Sweeck (BEL) in the Juniors Men category pleased the home crowd earlier on Sunday. Both young Belgians strengthened their leads in the World Cup.

2010 UCI Road World Championships: Thor Hushovd, a Norwegian set to conquer Australia

The last day of the UCI World Championships has offered a magnificent show to the enormous crowd which welcomed the peloton on the Geelong circuit, after the race had started a few hours earlier in the centre of Melbourne.

The most anticipated event of the week, which benefited from ideal conditions, was dominated by a five- rider breakaway. They attacked in the first few kilometres and took advantage of the lethargy of the chasing bunch to accumulate a 23-minute advantage.

After the first four of the 11 laps, for a total distance of 257 km, the main teams organised their reaction, and the Italian and Spanish squads drove the pace to gradually reduce the gap.

2010 UCI Road World Championships: Fabian Cancellara goes down in cycling's history

The Australians nicknamed him "The King of the Time": and he, Fabian Cancellara, offered them yet another demonstration of his class. In Geelong, the Swiss has become the first rider in history to win the time trial title four times: an amazing feat to which can be added his Olympic victory in Beijing and above all, the Tour of Flanders -- Paris-Roubaix double at the beginning of the season.

Cancellara, who announced just a few days ago his intention to race in Australia, easily dominated the event, covering the 45,6km course in an average of 47,048km/h, leaving all his rivals more than a minute behind.
