Pim Ronhaar and Wout van Aert
Pim Ronhaar, born July 20, 2001 in Hellendoorn, Netherlands, began his cyclo-cross career in 2019 by winning the Dutch junior championship. This marked his breakthrough in the sport. In 2020, he impressed in the U23s, with strong podium finishes in international races.
The highlight came in 2021, when Ronhaar became cyclo-cross world champion in the U23s. In 2022-2023, he scored several victories and made the switch to the elite, where he won his first race of the season in Ardooie, but ended his season in early January. On the road he won the Flèche du Sud stage-race in 2023.
2023-2024 proved to be his breakthrough season in cyclocross. His clear talent in the muddy races saw him win not one but two World Cup races - the only victories he achieved in Europe actually. These were the Dendermonde and Dublin races; whilst he finished second in the Dutch national Championships and he also shared the podium with Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert twice: In Baal and Koksijde, two of the most iconic tracks and both in the Christmas block.
In 2024 he won the Flèche du Sud once again confirming his talent as a road rider, and also a stage at the Tour du Mirabelle. This earned him a stagiaire period with the World Tour team Lidl-Trek who has connections with his CX team.
In 2024-2025 Ronhaar finished third in the X2O Badkamers Trofee, having a season with plenty strong performances but not managing to take a win. In 2025-2026 he had several second places early on in the season and a fourth at the European Championships.

- it will be interesting to see his results when he steps into the bigger races. 19 wins, but so many in the fall in mid level races. still the mid races need to be won to step up to the biggies.mij09-01-2026

- she is so good. even her results from 2025, which were “bad”, would be a career year for most riders. and consider at MSR, for example, her teammate won - perhaps Lotte could have won it. wishing her the best for 2026!mij09-01-2026

- Not sure you can say that someone as talented and successful as him has had bad luck, but between coming along right after the two titans and now this, his is a career cut short. Perhaps he can transition to a different role in the sport, but in any case I wish him well.MidnightRider08-01-2026
- I doubt it. This blows a hole in their ranks.mobk08-01-2026
- For a while there, Eli was the best of the rest in cyclocross behind Mathieu and Wout. It must be tough to be forced to retire early due to medical issues, but good health trumps everything else. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
santiagobenites08-01-2026 - however you frame it, it seems that they asked more from Ayuso (who obviously did not deliver the needed support) than they are asking from del Torro ... who - according to this quote - just needs to show up and can then ride however he likes.Ketterechts08-01-2026
- I agree that Ayuso was wrong in doing what he did at the tour, but we don't know everything behind the feud unless they all say honestly what went wrong. If he us such a rat and traitor, which it's a bit harsh, then what is to be said about Soler when he was with Movistar and didn't want to ride for Mas? I was disappointed, yes, but realize riders also have goals, and right now, UAE is all about their golden boy.Colnago-fan08-01-2026
