Tiny gaps

The gaps are still very small in the first 7 riders.
Vervecken closes the gaps up the stairs. He is a great runner.

2 laps to go.

Page and Vervecken
Then a group of 4, but those guys have trouble in the mud.

Wellens is still fighting and moving up. Props for not giving up.

Page lets Vervecken through to do some work. Erwin sure as shit doesn't want to be caught by 2 Dutchmen! He must figure he can drop Page on the last lap.

Damn, I'm proud of Page and all of the Americans right now.
USA 'Cross is moving up in the world.
