The 2026 Jaarmarktcross has been raced as the third round of the third Superprestige cup, and has been won by Cameron Mason and Manon Bakker. The races were also marked by the potential injuries of Michael Vanthourenhout and Lucinda Brand.

The conditions were very rough on a technical and hilly circuit, featuring lots of mud and sectors that proved to be quite risky. In the men's race, Michael Vanthourenhout, Cameron Mason, Joran Wyseure and Kevin Kuhn appeared the strongest in the first half of the race. But this began to change as the fatigue truly set in on the attrition-based course.

Vanthourenhout crashed on a muddy downhill on lap 7, initially losing a lot of time and appearing concerned. Mason was then able to make the difference to Joran Wyseure to take the victory; whilst Joris Nieuwenhuis rode to third place.

Michael Vanthourenhout arrived to the finish in eighth place, losing the cup lead to Mason.

The women's race was marked by an incident featuring Lucinda Brand, who lost control of in a bank section and appeared to suffer a foot injury. The Dutchwoman had to abandon the race.

Manon Bakker managed to take full advantage of the situation, and the startlist that lacked other big names. The Dutch rider was able to take her first win on European grounds since the 2023 Val di Sole World Cup. Sara Casasola and Denise Betsema finished second and third.

Bakker will not likely contest for the cup however, as is the case with Brand. Aniek van Alphen remains in the lead with 40 points, ahead of Denise Betsema (37), Inge van der Heijden (36) and Amandine Fouquenet (33).
