Quinten Hermans becomes Vice European Champion

Last weekend, four riders from the Tormans Cyclo Cross Team,Quinten Hermans (Belgium),Kevin Kuhn (Switzerland),Thomas Mein (Great Britain) andCorné Van Kessel (Netherlands), took part in the race for the European Championship title, which took place on the Col du VAM in Drenthe (Netherlands).

The start was marked by a heavy crash involving Kevin Kuhn. The Swiss had to go back to the technical zone and lost valuable time. Corné van Kessel was also unlucky, as he had to retire after crashing into the crash barriers. Quinten Hermans, on the other hand, led the race from the first lap. Little by little, he set the rhythm and left his competitors behind him one by one.

After an impressive attack on the Col du VAM halfway through the race, Hermans was able to extend his lead to 15 seconds. With the support of the home crowd, Dutchman Lars van der Haar managed to catch up with the Belgian with two laps to go. He overtook Hermans and beat the Belgian by 25 seconds. Despite his difficult start, Kevin Kuhn kept fighting and finished the race in 14th place.
