The race, in three figures
The race, in words
1:15:25 at Mechelen 2026 put Kevin Abspoel 238th of 457 men in the Pro division.
A station race more than a running one: 57% of the field beaten on the stations, against 37% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:43 on the median. A harder second half: 1:07 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
Athletes who raced both Mechelen 2026 and Amsterdam 2026 were 2:19 faster here, so this time looks a little better than it was.
