Vromant, Thomas-Goeman and Clincke added three medals to the Belgian counter.

Under the Ostend sun, first Ewood Froman (gold), then Milan Thomas Jonas Gaumann (bronze) and finally Louis Klink (bronze) took home three new Paralympic medals in Belgium on the second day of testing. The counter now stands at five for the Belgium Paralympic team.

The first Belgians to take action on day two of the World Cup were in Ostend-Tebode Thomann, and a few moments later also Ewood Froman, in the time trial for the MC2 class riders.

He was eager to start his season and did so with flying colors: Ewoud Vromant took gold with a best time of 26’45” 402 with an average of 45.75 km/h driving like a race car over the Ostend track.

His rival, Frenchman Alexandre Lyot, had to be content with the silver, Briton Matthew Robertson completed the podium. Tibod Thoman was fifteen.

In the women’s class, Nancy Williams finished ninth in the WC2 class.

The men’s tandem opened the afternoon sessions. Belgium is represented by Milan Thomas and his driver Jonas Gaumann (MB), and both gentlemen performed excellently. They rode to third and thus achieved their first podium finish in a UCI World Cup race.

The competition was won by European champion Bangma-Bos (NED), followed by vice Paralympic champion Ter Schure-Fransen (NED).
