National coach Gerben de Knegt has his selection ready for the Cyclo-Cross
World Cup that will be held in Val di Sole next weekend. The Dutch delegation is limited, many riders informed the national coach that they would skip the race.
De Knegt: "That is due to a combination of factors, it is actually a sum. This is actually the time for many athletes to rack up kilometers on the road in the sun, towards the busy Christmas period but certainly also the championships. The fact that even Pim Ronhaar, who is second in the World Cup, makes that choice indicates that many riders see it as a must."
