Belgian cyclo-cross champion Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen-Bingoal) said that his dominant victory in Saturday\u2019s Exact Cross race at Heerderstrand wasn\u2019t for revenge over this three-race suspension for stamping on a rival\u2019s bike. \u201cI just wanted to race,\u201d he said after beating Pim Ronhaar (Baloise\u2013Trek Lions) by 25 seconds in a race that was never really in doubt after the sixth of nine laps.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also did not wish to say anything further about the incident involving former teammate Ryan Kamp (Alpecin-Deceuninck Development Team), which took place in the season\u2019s first Exact Cross race in Beringen. Iserbyt was disqualified from the race, suspended for three further races and fined. He apologized to Kamp, who said he considered the incident closed.<\/p>\n

The Heerderstrand race was Iserbyt\u2019s first competition after the ban. Just 24 hours later, he was denied a second weekend victory after a thrilling duel with fellow Belgian Thibau Nys\u00a0(Baloise Trek Lions) in Sunday\u2019s Superprestige event at Overijse.<\/p>\n

Nys and Iserbyt were always near the front of a lead group that contained as many as seven riders, who took turns at the front. Nys was coming off a grueling but successful road season and an infection, which had cost him valuable training time. He had finished 13th and 12th in his first two cyclo-cross races of the season, at the now infamous Exact Cross Beringen and then\u00a0 at the first Superprestige round in Ruddervoorde last weekend.<\/p>\n
