Marijn van den Berg withdraws from Dutch European Championship team citing Vuelta fatigue as his replacement Ide Schelling has to turn down call up

Having not fully recovered from his debut Grand Tour appearance at the Vuelta a Espana, Marijn van den Berg has withdrawn from the Dutch European Championship squad.
Although he came close in a few sprints, the EF Education-EasyPost rider was unable to take a stage win at the Vuelta a Espana. Strangely enough, the first choice replacement Ide Schelling has also had to turn down the call-up so Cees Bol will instead be the final member of a Dutch team that also includes Olav Kooij, Nils Eekhoff, Sjoerd Bax, Bauke Mollema, Mike Teunissen, Elmar Reinders and Daan Hoole.
Helaas kan ook Ide Schelling niet starten. Cees Bol is zondag de vervanger van Marijn van den Berg in de EK Wegwedstrijd voor mannen.#Drenthe2023

- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024

- Pointless reporting. They are rivals, each tries their way to get their best result, with or without collaboration. As long as it’s all fair, why even report riders feelings about such stuff (yes I know, lack of other news). Anyone riding races will go through dozens of moments per race where they get emotional about the way someone else rides or takes advantage or doesn’t collaborate or more, it is natural, it is justified, it is NOT newsworthy!Mistermaumau17-11-2024
