Dutch national champion Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Fenix-Premier Tech) scored her first victory of the fledgling 2026-2027 cyclo-cross season with a patient yet dominant display on the banks of the Heerderstrand in the Netherlands this Saturday.

A powerful attack on the final lap saw the former world champion distance Denise Betsema (De Ceuster Bouwkranen) and Manon Bakker, after the three battled for supremacy throughout the second half of the race. A spirited comeback from Aniek van Alphen saw the 777TV rider take third place behind Betsema after she caught and passed Bakker in the final straight.
