Exciting finale in the second round of the Elite Cyclocross World Cup that saw Michael Vanthourenhout's success. The Belgian from Pauwels Sauzen Bingoal seized the fleeting moment just a few hundred meters from the finish, managing to impose himself with a few meters' advantage over Toon Aerts, Spanish rider Felipe Orts Lloret, and his compatriot Eli Iserbyt. The Dublin race was a succession of attacks and changes in the lead, with Iserbyt doing everything to repeat the victory he obtained last week in the first round in Antwerp. In the end, former European champion Vanthourenhout prevailed with his second seasonal victory.
