2010-2011 UCI Patrick Cyclo-cross World Cup: Snow and ice can't stop Boom and Compton


The heavy snow showers of the last week turned the former F1 car racing circuit in Zolder, Belgium into a challenging cyclo-cross course for the UCI Patrick Cyclo-cross World Cup.


Dutch champion Lars Boom (Rabobank) bested World Cup leader Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) in the difficult circumstances in the Elite Men category. Nevertheless Albert strengthened his World Cup lead over Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet).


The win from Katherine Compton (USA) in the Women's category moves the US-champion ahead of former leader Sanne van Paassen (The Netherlands) in the lead of the World Cup.
