The magnificent Fem van Empel has successfully defended her Cyclocross World Championship title with a faultless performance in Tabor ahead of her Dutch compatriots, Lucinda Brand and Puck Pieterse.
It didn't take long for the cream to rise. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado flew out the blocks from the start but within a couple of minutes, reigning world champion Fem van Empel already had a gap up front. At the end of lap 1, van Empel was already 16 seconds clear of Puck Pieterse and Lucinda Brand, seemingly having the title in the bag.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
