Prepare for Coxeged with wins from Nils Albert, Paul Heregers and Adri van der Poel | X²O Trophy 2022

Laurens Sweeck will be back this afternoon. A strong cold kept him away from Loenhout, Baal and Herentals in recent days.

“I had been sick for a while, and had been kept away from the kids. Those back problems at Zolder and Diegem were probably the result,” Swick explains on the organization’s website.

“Now I have the feeling that a week without a cross has done me well. I needed that recovery,” Swick continues.

“I hope to get back to good form before the end of the year at Koksijde in order to build confidence towards BK.”

In Koksijde, Soek finds his favorite subsoil: loose sand. “I really like coming to Koksijde, although the advantage of true sand specialists has become somewhat less in recent years. It’s now mainly a crossover where the condition makes the difference.”

Lift up, lift down! Today, cyclists settle in Koksegde. Around the Air Force Base, a solid sand board ride is offered.

One with a lot of history. Today, the 55th edition of Duinencross is already included in the program.

Especially since the World Cup finals remain legendary. In 1994, co-commentator Paul Hergers won the rainbow jersey, and in 2012 Niels Albert was the best.
