Shirin van Anrooij has won the X2O Trofee Koksijde. She beat Fem van Empel to secure her fifth victory of the season.
The beginning was chaotic due to a crash, but the top riders were able to avoid it and continue. Shirin van Anrooij began the race with a strong lead, while Fem van Empel had difficulty in the sand section and took some time to find her rhythm.
Van Anrooij was enjoying a 13-second lead over van Empel. Lucinda Brand and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado were both 30 seconds behind van Empel. It started raining, which made the course muddy and slippery.
Shirin van Anrooij won the race, securing her fifth victory of the season. Fem van Empel came in second place, and Lucinda Brand placed third.

- Unexpectedness-wise, that’s exactly how wildcards should be attributed. Growing betting sponsor backlash and problems in sport might have affected things too.Jumpyjohn30-01-2026

- I can relate but don’t think it’s such a big issue, here we have 10 teams within a minute of each other. Like every other day except the ITT, strong riders have to count on a team just in case, that collaboration/organisation/strategy is best tested during a TTT where there is no-one else to take advantage of. Cycling is always defined as a team sport, we should remember that when placing too much focus on only looking at the strong riders. Otherwise, help the Saudi start a rival Tour, solo no team (no drafting would make it too boring for spectators so not really solo). They will soon have plenty to invest now that LIV is dying.Mistermaumau30-01-2026
- Only what a few of them (and one or two sports personality managers) have told me about it wrt riding with strangers but hey, everyone is capable of lying, just as everyone is capable of writing illegal or worthless contracts. That said, there are obviously vast differences between certain riders and your average domestique, who probably aren’t even allowed to go skiing.Mistermaumau30-01-2026
