Fem van Empel has left the cyclocross world with little doubt about who the dominant force in the women's discipline is. The Dutchwoman was a dominant winner at the World Championships in Tabor on Saturday afternoon.
“The entire season was all about this competition, so this is really the icing on the cake,” the 21-year-old, who has only been beaten twice in her twenty outings this winter reflected in her post-race interview after adding a second Rainbow Jersey to her palmares.

With a completely Dutch podium, van Empel triumphed ahead of Puck Pieterse and Lucinda Brand in the Czech Republic.
“This is not only a victory for myself, but also for all of Team Fem, everyone around me. It means a lot to me to defend the title. It's a special day today," she concluded. "Everything had to fall into the right place at the right time. That went very well today, so I'm very happy.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
