Puck Pieterse takes maiden World Cup win in mud-filled Overijse race
CyclocrossSunday, 20 November 2022 at 14:34
In the UCI World Cup Overijse, Puck Pieterse won his first title. In the first lap, she took off and gradually increased distance with each lap, eventually winning the World Cup.
Hélène Clauzel started the nice lead, but it didn’t take much time for Puck Pieterse to place herself in the lead. By the end of the first lap, she enjoyed 19 seconds lead over Fem van Empel. Denise Betsema and Aniek van Alphen crashed in the second lap.
Because of the rain, the course was slick and muddy, which led to an increase in accidents. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado enjoyed victory yesterday, but it was not her day in Overijse. She crashed in the second last lap.
By the last lap, Pieterse gained more than 1 minute lead against van Empel. She crossed the finish line and celebrated the first World cup victory of her career. Fem van Empel satisfied herself with silver. Shirin van Anrooij took the bronze.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025

- I think once he's the undisputed leader in a race, he can become more consistent than he was in the past.Ride197404-12-2025
