Puck Pieterse has won the U23 European Cyclocross Championship. She beat Line Burquier in the final lap and secured victory. This is her second victory of the season.
Marie Schreiber started the race with a nice lead. Others followed her except Shirin van Anrooij who completely missed the timing and was left behind. In the steep and technical descent towards the cobblestones, Backstedt was leading but hit the rocks with her knee and had to let go of the lead.
Pieterse took advantage of this and created a gap. Van Anrooij made a comeback and was well positioned for silver but crashed in the last lap and saw the silver go up in smoke as a result.
Line Burquier tried her best but could not defeat Pieterse and satisfied herself with the silver. Shirin van Anrooij finished third and took the bronze.

- He is incorrect. Jonas is not lucky, the others are very unluckyabstractengineer11-05-2026
- Agreed. Magnier was in peak form during the Tour of Poland; the T-Rex kit made his dominance look even more intimidating. They’re very different personalities but what makes you say Seixas isn’t as likeable?anonymouscyclist11-05-2026
- Without the long transfer there would not a rest day. Vingegaard is focusing on the health risks of the airport. The travel distance is what necessitated the rest day so those two cancel each other out
Rafionain-Glas11-05-2026 - Out of the three, Giulio Pellizzari had by far the best sprint, finishing 5th. Of course Vingegaard and van Eetvelt didn't really sprint, but that showed what Pellizzari's way to beat Vingegaard is - survive and sprintRafionain-Glas11-05-2026
- Can we wait to see if he makes it first? Anyway, it’s not all about luck, some just weren’t paying enough attention.Mistermaumau11-05-2026
- This is a lazy take. The issue is not whether he is driving the bus or taking a flight. The issue is that a rest day in a Grand Tour is supposed to be for recovery, not for a long transfer, airports, disrupted routines and extra infection risk. Professional riders are not robots. Recovery, sleep and health matter over three weeks. And “Pog would take it in his stride” is not an argument. It is just guessing what your favourite rider would say. A rider can be tough and still criticise poor race logistics.catalinalbu11-05-2026
- Chris Horner would say that none of that matters because he has Isaac del ToroRafionain-Glas11-05-2026
- however, his quotes tend to be taken out of context. he makes a point that the comparison is exaggerated, but everybody jumps on the comparison to armstrong and pretends that he said pogi = modern armstrong. on the other hand, of course he knows that this is going to happen and says it anyways ...Ketterechts11-05-2026
- I am not sure how one could conclude that Pogacar's TDF plans are not affected. Soler, Vine and Yates are usually in the TDF roster. I don't know if Tadej has won a tour without Marc Soler.Spike031111-05-2026
- Crazy... Magnier's sprint was about double my fresh one indoors... and Milan is an alienRafionain-Glas11-05-2026
