Marianne Vos sprints to defeat Lucinda Brand as Dutch claim one-two at cyclo-cross world championships
Marianne Vos beat compatriot Lucinda Brand in a sprint finish to win the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas in the United States. Third place went to Italian rider Silvia Persico, preventing Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado — another Dutch team-mate — from completing a hat-trick. Ad/> Vos was fortunate to keep in the race after almost tumbling in the second corner but was able to right her balance and she followed Brand and Alavarado.
