On s'attendait à un duel Mathieu van der Poel - Wout Van Aert ce dimanche sur les Championnats du Monde de cyclo-cross... mais ce duel n'a pas eu lieu. En effet, le Néerlandais a très vite mis fin au suspense, attaquant dès le départ, alors que le Belge démarrait en 4e ligne et a été victime d'un incident dans les premiers hectomètres. C'est donc Mathieu van der Poel qui a été sacré sur ce cross de Liévin, son 7e titre mondial. Un record, puisque MVDP égale le record d'Eric De Vlaeminck ! Van Aert a lui pris la seconde place, loin derrière son rival de toujours, tandis que Thibau Nys s'est emparé de la médaille de bronze.
