Timon Rüegg is not the biggest star of cyclocross peloton, but is certainly working on his reputation with a string of great results, including two top 10s in
World Cup. Rüegg's latest result, 13th place in Hulst is not something to be ashamed of either. Actually, it meant that he was able to talk about his year with WielerFlits in an extensive conversation.
"I had some good results, but also a lot of bad luck. In Namur my derailleur broke in the last half lap. My highlight? That was without a doubt Loenhout. There, for the first time in my career, I was able to follow Mathieu van der Poel for two laps. I'm not going to lie: that was one of the best experiences of my entire career. People were shouting so loudly, it was insane."
