Lucinda Brand was a prime candidate for yesterday's Cyclocross World Cup race in Tabor, but has had to watch it from afar as the day previous she suffered a crash which has sidelined her from competition for a few weeks.
Brand crashed whilst doing a recon of the Czech course this Saturday, and has broken her right metacarpal bone. This fracture is in a sensitive area that riders require a lot of stain during CX racing and training, and will have her out of competition for indefinite time.

I will have some challenging weeks ahead," Brand said in a social media post. "Monday surgery and then working hard to come back in competition as soon as it’s justified. Making it before [European Championships] seems impossible... let’s see how things go."
The crash has came in a particularly bad time, with Brand likely being forced to skip at least two World Cup rounds, the European Championships and the start of both Superprestige and X20 Badkamers Trofee. It is yet to be known for how long she will be out.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- calling him a star in cross before he beats MVDP or WVA is also a big stretch.mij04-12-2025
- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
