“It is important to stay alert” - Eli Iserbyt cautiously optimistic about World Cup overall victory
CyclocrossWednesday, 24 January 2024 at 22:00
Going into the final round of the UCI World Cup in Hoogerheide this weekend, series leader Eli Iserbyt is remaining cautiously optimistic about claiming the overall title, despite having a 34-point lead in the standings over his nearest contender Joris Nieuwenhuis.
Iserbyt needs to score just seven points in the final round to make it mathematically impossible for him to lose the title. However, he is not relaxing just yet, as in an interview with WielerFlits he stated that “you certainly shouldn't sit back. You're not allowed to fall asleep. It is important to stay alert”. The Pauwels Sauzen - Bingoal rider banged his bars as he crossed the finish line in Benidorm, knowing he hadn't yet confirmed his victory, but unless something out of the ordinary happens this upcoming weekend, he will confirm his second cup win of the season - following the Superprestige.
With Mathieu van der Poel set to line up on Sunday, Iserbyt is quietly confident about his chances, as he went on to say “for me it is good that Mathieu is participating in Hoogerheide. Realistically, the first forty points are then gone”.
Having won last year’s World Championships in Hoogerheide, as well as five World Cup races there throughout his career, Van der Poel is the nailed-on favourite for Sunday’s race and Nieuwenhuis will have his work cut out if he hopes to snatch the series victory away from Iserbyt this weekend.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
