Today's
cyclocross in Herentals promises to deliver a lot of action. Whilst Fem van Empel is the outright favourite to win the women's race, the men's event sees the return of
Mathieu van der Poel and Tom Pidcock, against a stacked field.
"It was a piece of cake for Wout, it will be a walkover for Mathieu," cyclocross legend
Niels Albert said in conversation to Het Laatste Nieuws. The former pro has kept a close eye on the riders who are aiming for success in the discipline and he believes Mathieu van der Poel is the big favourite to win today.
Alpecin-Deceuninck manager Christoph Roodhoft has talked about how the Dutchman impressed recently in training against his teammates.
