The race, in words
1:16:11 at Gent 2025 put Richard Proost on the age-group podium: 3rd of 13 in the 50–54 age group.
A station race more than a running one: 69% of the field beaten on the stations, against 44% on the runs. Nowhere gained more than the sled pull: 0:56 on the median. A harder second half: 1:22 more lost to the middle of the field after halfway than before it.
The field ran 1:19 faster at Gent 2025 than at Heerenveen 2025, a quicker course than most.
