Yesterday, by nice and hot weather, was started first race of most prestigious cyclocross series. It happened, like every year, in small town Rudervoorde.The track has been there for many years same, but this year added sand about 65 meters long. Otherwise, the track was dry, very fast and very technical.
Zlama dstarted well. After a long asphalt way, turn bunge a right to first corner and was there massive fall. Zlama hesitated a bit, but nothing is lost during the next couple of turns through on a 7 position. In the first round was left two Štybar and Aernouts. To the second round Zlama started on the 3rd position and defend the all round. He had behind a line about 12 riders. At the end of the third round, he created a gap with Sven Nys and Sven Vanthourenhout, but their lead did not so long, about half a lap is caught him Niels and brought the other racers. At this point, Zlama escaped and lost contact with group of 5 people and so was moved about 4 laps on the 8. position, together with Dieter Vanthourenhout. Two laps to go come the strong group which was Franzoi, Klaas Vantornout, Peeters and Meeusen and American Page. And fought hard there, Zlamawas in the ends of the forces and made a few small faults and have not been able to eliminate the loss. He finished as the 16th place.
As we were told with him, Zlama has a good feeling, he si little bit disappointed, because he not take any points to the UCI rankings, and also not to the overall of the Superprestige series. They handed points in bost cases only to 15 place. Zlama, it is looking forward to the first Cup in Aigle - Switzerland.
