Puck Pieterse has won the CX World Cup Val di Sole. Following her crash, she recovered and set a gap that she maintained to win her fifth race of the season.
Silvia Persico had the best start, but soon she crashed hard, which also involved Fem van Empel and Puck Pieterse. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado used this commotion to place herself in the lead.
Pieterse was able to make a comeback and take the lead for herself, but Van Empel was hurt in the crash and decided to abandon the race. Persico was in the third position after three laps, 35 seconds behind Pieterse.
Puck Pieterse crossed the finish line first to celebrate her fifth victory of the season. Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado took the silver, and Manon Bakker finished third.

- 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

Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.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

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
