Summary

Under 23s podium

Lars Boom wins the U23s race

Lars Boom attacked on the hard climb halfway the second lap and managed to create a serious gap by drilling himself through the 35-metre-long sand section just after the climb. His main opponent Niels Albert followed on a fair distance and could only secure his silver medal, finishing 1:22 behind Boom. Romain Villa followed 20 seconds behind Albert to take the bronze.
