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.

- the 6th TDF is a more record breaking opportunity than a 2nd Giro. Jonas can double up. For Remco its TDF. For Sexias it will be a good opportunity but as usual TDF will be his main goal For del Toro, yes good opportunityabstractengineer04-11-2026
- Well, this is something which isn't all that common

- It's also highly significant for Lorenzo Finn as he won there last year. Also Mateo Ramírez and Henrique Bravo if they goRafionain-Glas03-11-2026
- This is a phenomenal course design. I do wish that they'd stretch these tours for the women to at least 2 weeks.RidesHills03-11-2026
- This is an amazing route, honestly. Let's hope that it attracts riders to make it a compelling and competitive race. Side bar amusement: going to Slovenia and passing pretty close to Pogačar's house. I wonder if they were tempting him to get all 3 jerseys at once after winning the Tour and Vuelta. After all, only a very few have ever had all three at the same time (Froome being the last).RidesHills03-11-2026

- A great route, much more exciting than the Tour de France. Monte Livata is an interesting one, because they experimented with it at the 2026 Baby Giro, and it was fantastic. 4 km at 10%, then 10 km at 6.5% made for a great spectacle. The stage 16 is horrible. Montaner is also used in the U23s, in Giro del BelvedereRafionain-Glas03-11-2026
