"Now I want to keep everything intact and then go well into the spring" - Lucinda Brand looking forward to return to road after latest cyclocross success

Lucinda Brand took yet another victory this winter on Sunday afternoon at the X2O Trofee in Brussels. That makes it seven wins for the season for the Baloise - Trek Lions star.
“It's going really well and that's very nice," said a beaming Brand in her post-race interview, following her victory in Brussels ahead of Marion Norbert-Riberolle and Manon Bakker. "Now I want to keep everything intact and then go well into the spring."
“It took some searching at the beginning. I also changed tire pressure, because I couldn't lose my strength. It was tough otherwise," she says, noting her struggles with the mud early on. "Marion Norbert Riberolle and Manon Bakker are technically strong, so the question was who made the fewest mistakes.”
“The course was very slippery. The top layer was broken and underneath it was hard. Then you don't really get a grip and that made it very difficult,” she concludes. “I have never won here before, so it is very nice to win.”

- There is one very important reason why cyclocross didn’t take off when it could have in the UK, TPs lack of charisma and talent to present a hero young kids (future generations) would want to emulate. The hero factor is tge single most effective tool in making niche sports popular. Yes, Belgium has the advantage of tradition and The Netherlands of being more committed to sport in general without biais towards the more popular ones which is why they excel at so many secondary sports, skating, hockey, rowing and you’ll almost always find a Dutch talent in any sport be it horse-riding, darts or chess. But really it’s a case of why does anyone expect any country to be good at every sport when it isn’t a collective top down philosophy and despite all the money that was pumped into the British system it is obvious they don’t have the right general attitude to sport to ensure each one attracts its disciplesMistermaumau18-12-2024
- WC hardly counts. - You couldn’t be further away from the truth.
