00:00and we're ready for the start round nine of eleven it would have been ten of twelve but
00:07nine of eleven in the uci cyclocross world cup from benidorm locked and loaded
00:14hammer off in the middle up alongside tonight's he's gone in the small gear he's trying to get
00:18the good start looks like at the moment neils van der pooter in the double denim right in the middle
00:23he's going to get the best start by the looks of it great start by him he's got elizabeth locking
00:27up the back wheel and sliding there let's get through here cleanly boys we don't want a problem
00:30at this point andrew strohmeyer the american champion on the inside just getting caught up
00:34against the barriers but it's van der pooter who's got the best start felipe or it's looking very
00:38comfortable there in second and ellie is a bit in third a little bit on these corners not kicking
00:44as hard as he maybe could do here you'll soon know because you'll see the riders coming alongside
00:50and you see that happening you can see that that is the case there last van der haas moving up
00:55alongside van turn out the power salesman squad looking like they're playing that tactical game
01:01once again felipe also on the right side of that little bit of gamesmanship he had a little crash
01:07with t-bone ace and managed to come up the inside of him crashed into a bit of a barrier i think he
01:11ran over a spectator's foot or something like that but he then started to bounce back in the coming
01:16races after that eventually took the win in holland um just after new year at the beginning
01:22of the season when he beat ellie is a bit of michael van turn out on that occasion then again
01:26took the win in dendamond here he goes up the inside there as well this fantastic drone shot
01:30he's tracking alongside pym ronha and kevin coon by the looks of it
01:36and he's trying to get back in touch with the group being led by ellie is a bit there he is
01:40he's quite on his hands well by this stage of the last round of the uci world cup in
01:45dendamond it was looking far more certain as we were going into the closing stages and he
01:49was riding away from everyone effectively now we're back on the climb again the penultimate
01:54time we'll see the drone shot alongside wout van aert he is being tracked by the danger man as
01:58jeremy has pointed out rightly to t-bone ace with a bike length to wout van aert that's starting to
02:04crack open they'll be certainly making t-bone ace work hard to stay with him and there's the catch
02:08as well just like that on the climb wout van aert has gone to the front of the race for the first
02:12time the bismolita bike rider he's caught everyone and he now leads into the woods
02:17uh my my explanation is that he's going to open this one up here he's going to do what
02:21he needs to do here to be able to put this one away nace is the i think in my opinion
02:26the strongest on the day van aert now knows he's got to close this up but he's coming from so far
02:30back like i said it's going to be a lot wow look at the front east a bit all out here now t-bone
02:35ace goes right over the top of him jess understandably our camera is staying without
02:39van aert but you're right the action over the top it is t-bone ace who goes over the top we saw him
02:43do this on the finish of this tour of romandie this year on the road we know how much power he
02:47punched punches on a climb like that t-bone ace going clear can van toerenhout and elizabeth get
02:53back in touch wout van aert still there and this race is really open at the front end this is the
02:58final lap now lap eight and t-bone ace had been keeping his powder dry but he's just puffed it up
03:03in the air because he's off through the moment he laid down the big attack comes over the top
03:08he's going to walk into the finish with a handful of seconds ahead of him absolute perfection here
03:12from t-bone ace here in benidorm he kicks out the back wheel though it's not an enormous leader
03:17really it's a bit but there are very few places to make up time now as we go into these swoopy
03:21corners he takes the left hander too he's done it european champion belgian champion and rounding
03:27in on those world championships big warning shot fired because t-bone ace is the winner
03:32in benidorm in round nine of the uci cyclocross world cup what a final lap from him elizabeth
03:39second last van der harpe a brilliant ride in third wout van aert in fourth michael van toerenhout
03:44fifth and felipe or is the local hero in six neils van der pooter stops his watch in i think seventh
03:51and uh joris newenhouse in eighth back from illness
