Men Elite CX 🏆 in Val di Sole, Trentino: 🥇 Joris Nieuwenhuis (NED) 🥈 Niels Vandeputte (BEL) 🥉 Joran Wyseure (BEL) @SportPic_Agency #CXWorldCup
The Belgian contingent of riders has been revealed ahead of the upcoming UCI World Cup in Namur next weekend. As expected, the World Cup return of Wout van Aert will have to wait.
The former three-time Cyclocross World Champion made his hotly anticipated return to the discipline last Saturday in Essen and was promptly victorious by over a minute and a half. Van Aert will not be in action in Namur, although that doesn't do much to dampen the star power on show.
The likes of Eli Iserbyt, Michael Vanthourenhout and Laurens Sweeck lead the way on the men's side of things. With the likes of Gerben Kuypers, Jens Adams, Niels Vandeputte and Joran Wyseure also involved among others.
For the women, Marion Norbert Riberolle is the headline selection. Joining her will be such riders as Julie Brewers, Jinse Peeters, Laura Verdonschot and more.
