CyclocrossTuesday, 25 October 2022 at 20:33
21-year-old Hungarian Blanka Kata Vas had defeated a strong field including the likes of World Champion Marianne Vos to emerge victorious at the Night of Woerden.
In any sport the added drama and ambience that comes with dark skies and floodlights seemingly never fails to bring excitement. Cycling is no different and for the first time in 2 years the evening cross in the Utrecht region returned, full of drama.
Runner up from last week's World Cup race in Tábor, Puck Pieterse looked to go one better here and got off to the fastest start from the pack. Closely followed by the likes of Marianne Vos and Blanka Kata Vas it wasn't long before the Hungarian began to take control.
The SD Worx rider began to put the pressure on and managed to ride all but Vos and Pieterse from contention. On the final lap Vas went hard and finally managed to break the elastic, riding clear of her two rivals and claiming her 5th victory of the season so far.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
