X²O Badkamers Trophy 2026 – 6 – Trofee Baal – GP Sven Nys 2026 (C1) WE – Baal, Belgium 🇧🇪
The Cyclo-cross Trophy (Dutch: Trofee veldrijden), also known as X²O Badkamers Trophy (Dutch: X²O Badkamers Trofee), is a Belgian cyclo-cross racing series currently sponsored by X²O Badkamers (X²O Bathrooms).
Lucinda Brand, racing under a new team name, Baloise Verzekeringen-Het Poetsbureau Lions, continued her dominant performances during this cyclo-cross season, winning X2O Trofee Baal-GP Sven Nys after leading the race from start to finish on Thursday.
All but sealing the series win, too, Brand crossed the line with her sixth win of the X2O Trofee series, 12 seconds ahead of Puck Pieterse, who was also racing under a new team name, Fenix-Premier Tech, and 1:30 ahead of Zoe Bäckstedt (Canyon-Sram zondacrypto).
The riders lined up under wet and rainy conditions on New Year’s Day at the X2O Trofee Baal-GP Sven Nys, with Jolanda Neff (Cannondale) off to a fast start, followed by Brand, Bäckstedt and Pieterse.
Brand quickly opened a gap and gained 20 seconds on Pieterse and 30 seconds on Bäckstedt by the start of the second of five laps.
Neff then led a chase group at over a minute down that also included Manon Bakker (Creland-Corendon) and Marion Norbert Riberolle (also Creland-Corendon), who finished fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively.
Brand continued a flawless race of dominance to secure her 13th cyclo-cross victory in a row and 17th win of this season.
She won the opening six rounds of the X2O Trofee series and has all but sewn up the series victory with two rounds to go at Lille-Krawatencross and Brussels, both in February.
