Puck Pieterse recorded her second consecutive win in the World Cup Hulst. So far, she has already secured four victories, and her focus remains World Championships.
Having recently gained new confidence, she is considering competing in the World Championships in the elite category This comes following her triumph at the European under-23 Championships in Namur. "But it's always a matter of seeing how it goes. A lot can still happen," she told WielerFlits. Participation in a championship in the elite category means that afterwards, you are never allowed to compete in the U23s.
It is a different story when it comes to mountain biking. Her next season's competition will be in the elite category. "Next mountain biking season, I will be riding in the elite category anyway, so what I do now in the cross country doesn't matter for mountain biking," shared Pieterse. She will compete in the UCI Antwerp World Cup next, hoping to make it her fifth victory of the season.

- Hey, find the logic and connection in these two things. First Yates says he is "grateful" to Visma and has been thinking about retirement for a long time??? ... and at the same time he left his team in the dark where they can't bring in a replacement now. Is that how he thanks his team? Don't insult my intelligence. My uncle once told me, "I don't know what's the true, but what the newspapers publish, I know that isn't true." ...That means one less option. Now apply that to the Yates case and you can put the Visma and Yates explanation in the trash and continue investigating the real reason.NikkoNicco11-01-2026
- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.

- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- 🤣 I saw that too. Guess he buys in lower tax bracket so he can buy moremd197510-01-2026
