The sight of Nikki Harris, in the British cyclo-cross champion’s jersey, on the podium of major races this season is becoming a familiar one.
And the make-up of the women’s podium in Namur this weekend, after the fourth round of the 2013/14 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, was a particularly elite one, with Harris joined by defending champion Katie Compton and the rainbow jersey-clad Marianne Vos.
The sport has not become predictable though – far from it in fact – and the men’s World Cup races continue to throw up surprise results as Belgium’s dominance is challenged.
Balint Hamvas was on hand to capture the best of the action in Namur, see how the races unfolded in the stunning gallery of images below.
