Shirin van Anrooij won the UCI World Cup Beekse Bergen. She suprised Fem van Empel and Puck Pieterse in the final lap and crossed the finish line just a second ahead of them to secure her first victory of the season.
"I came back to the first two, and Sven Nys screamed at me just go as they were slowing down," said Van Anrooij. She continues, "He told me to not go on the road but then they really slowed down, and I just went full gas. I knew I had to be the first one at the barriers as Fem and Puck were both jumping.I didn't make any mistakes and just rode full gas."
It was a suprise for Van Anrooij also, she never expected to climb the top podium spot. "It means a lot I've never won a big television race in cyclo-cross before so to now win a World Cup. I was just dreaming to maybe get on the podium this season but now I win. It's something really important for me to get more confidence again. It will just be a big boost for the next weeks,” concluded Van Anrooij.
