Lars boom took the momentum from winning the last two races of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup to ride into the lead in Treviso, Italy.

Boom took charge early in the race, hitting the first turn in the lead, but hewas not able to jump away for a solo ride to the finish. Boom fought hard to stay in the front of group of more then 30 riders up to the steep slopes of the 26-percent climb at the 1km mark. He was able to ride up this hill, while many stuck in traffic were forced to run up.

The lead group of 30 stayed together for much of the race and Boom was able to stay calm while monitoring the front and working with Richard Groenendaal to pull back escapees and keeping the field tight, even towards the end of the race.

Americans Jonathon Page, Timothy Johnson and Jeremy Powers finished in 23rd, 26th and 27th respectively.
