Western Cyclocross League rider Craig Denning (Dream CC) took part in the Cyclocross Masters World Championships held in Belgium at the weekend.

Denning, who raced despite breaking two ribs in a crash while practising on the course in Mol, finished 24th in the youngest age group – for riders aged 30 to 34.

He said: "It's great to race in Belgium. It was a good course with a demanding beachy stretch and I was fairly pleased with my performance."

Fellow Dream CC rider Richard Miller finished 45th in the 35 to 39 age group at Saturday's event, in which there were a number of age categories, up to one for riders aged 70-plus.

Britain's elite riders take part in the World Cyclo-Cross Championships at Hoogerheide, Holland, this weekend.
