January 30, 2011 (St. Wendel, Germany) – Zdenek Stybar (Czech Republic) won the rainbow jersey at the UCI World Cyclocross Championships in St. Wendel, Germany today. The German town must be lucky for the 25-year-old, who also won the U23 world title here in 2005. This is Stybar’s fourth Cyclocross World title, having also won it last year and as a U23 in 2006. Belgian powerhouses Sven Nys (Belgium) and Kevin Pauwels (Belgium) had to settle for silver and bronze medals, respectively, as Stybar charged away from them, winning by a solid 18s. Craig Richey (Canada) was the top Canuck in 46th place and 5 laps down, while Derrick St John (Canada) placed 51st and 6 laps back.
