Puck Pieterse was able to deliver a fantastic performance in the X2O Trofee Herentals. The Dutchwoman was no match as she created a gap and remained out of reach. This is her seventh victory of the season.
“I could kind of choose what I wanted to ride over the Christmas period. I didn't want to do too much, but some extra besides the World Cups,” said Pieterse She continues, “I've ridden here before in 2020, so I knew it was a nice round. That's why I wanted to come back.”
Pieterse controlled the race from the start and was in the lead the whole time. “I tried to ride technically as good and as hard as possible, although at a certain point, you have to accept that you don't go down that steep hill locked in. That still almost went wrong on the last lap, but I paid close attention to safety,” said Pieterse.
This marks her seventh win of the season and her first in 2023. “I can still keep count though. It's not that many yet, but it's starting to add up nicely now, yes. I certainly had to do my best. Walking up that ski mountain and then cycling was not easy. I had to go all the way, also because there was a stretch of road in front of it where you want to keep going. It went well today,” concluded the Dutchwoman.

- I can’t understand how people are suddenly so struck by gravel, as if these paths suddenly popped up. People have been riding these on MTB for decades and it never drew attention, now because you can put slightly widef tires on a sturdier road bike it changes everything???? I don’t want to put down anyone’s hobby but do you realise that every TdF before the 1940s was basically a gravel race and they couldn’t get away from that fast enough with no real desire to go back to it. Also, having “watched” (hard to see much) one of this years’ gravel stages, I can’t help wonder if in a generation we will start hearing of a respiratory problem pandemic amongst cyclists, how good can it be for you/lungs/immune system (especially knackered during a GT) to breathe this in hard for hours which basically everyone except Tadej or MVDP would be doing (though even they have motorbikes and card proceeding).Mistermaumau09-11-2024

- Wouldn’t be the first time someone do completely misrepresented data by assumption. There was a time when media people took a little pride in checking stuff before publishing but I think apart from a few very dedicated individuals that habit is dead, there is no more risk to publishing fake or bad facts or just getting things wrong, if fact it seems more and more like this makes you popularMistermaumau09-11-2024
