Wout Van Aert (Verandas Willems-Crelan) won the eighth round of the Telenet UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup ahead of German Marcel Meisen and fellow Belgian Tom Meeusen in Fiuggi, Italy on Sunday.

The world champion had to ﬁght in the initial laps of the race with Meisen setting a great pace over the climbs and down the technical descents. However, in the second part of the race, Van Aert opened the throttle and the others had to struggle just to reserve their own positions.

The 22-year-old reigning world champion is now guaranteed to win the overall series with just one ﬁnal race to be held in Hoogerheide (NED) on January 22.
