"As an organization, we are taking the lead in eliminating this problem from cyclocross. As an organization it is our duty to take care of both the public and the riders. Everyone should be able to experience cyclocross in a fun and safe way: whether you are supporting, working or cycling," says Deramoudt.
Adrie van der Poel applauds the initiative of the organization of the Duinencross. "It is a fantastic initiative, but it is also a sad and deadly shame that the organization has to hire extra people for the safety and well-being of the riders. That also means extra costs for them. Hopefully they won't have to make them again in the future and the misconduct will disappear again. There was no negativity at all during the last cross. Happy."
