The race, in three figures
The race, in words
In the Pro division at Mechelen 2026, Matthijs Bakker crossed the line in 1:08:19: 137th of 457 men, faster than 70% of the field.
Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:59 on the median.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
