On Saturday, Marion Norbert Riberolle burst into tears at the BC, today she was allowed to celebrate.
Norbert Riberolle was already broken in the opening round at the BC in Lokeren due to equipment failure, so she could never defend her title chances.
Also today in Otegem, Norbert Ribelle did not stay clear. When our compatriot got stuck on the crush barriers in a bend, Aniek van Alphen seemed to go flying.
Surprisingly, in the last straight Norbert Riberolle appeared first on the asphalt. Van Alphen’s battery was completely drained in the final phase, the 2nd place was her fate.
Denise Betsema, who was knocked out before halfway by Norbert Riberolle, had to settle for the 3rd step of the podium.
After Saturday’s tears, a smile appeared on Marion Norbert Riberolle’s face today.
“I am very happy with this victory, even if it is not in the Belgian champion’s jersey,” the native Frenchwoman told WTV.
“After my fall I tried to return to Van Alphen in anger. Today the strongest won, Saturday at the BC that was not the case.”
