Kata Blanka Vas set to miss World Championships in Tábor due to illness

After a really impressive performance at the final round of the UCI World Cup in Hoogerheide last weekend, where she finished in second place behind Fem van Empel in a sprint to the line, many thought that Kata Blanka Vas could be a contender for this weekend’s Cyclocross World Championships in Tábor.

However, according to CyclingUpToDate’s Lukáš Ronald Lukács (@lucasaganronald on Twitter), the Hungarian rider is set to miss the race on Saturday due to illness, as she was not able to train on Wednesday. The official decision is set to be made on Friday ahead of the race the next day.
