Mathieu Van der Poel VS Wout Van Aert and Puck Pieterse VS Fem Van Empel. These are the 2 great direct clashes, with naturally all the other opponents who will not be watching. The Dutch world championships will be beautiful with a huge audience and many champions ready to put on a show.
The program will begin on Friday 3 February with the Team relay, where last year the blue team won the historic first edition. The following day, Saturday, the junior women, the U23 men and the elite women will be protagonists. Marianne Vos will not defend the jersey because she left cyclo-cross early due to physical problems. Open challenge therefore between the 2 young champions Fem Van Empel and Puck Pieterse. Blue hope in Silvia Persico for a medal.
The following day, Sunday, it will be the turn of the Junior men, women U23, to then close with the most awaited race, the one reserved for elite men. Present Mathieu Van der Poel and Wout Van Aert, certainly the 2 absolute protagonists. Tom Pidcock, on the other hand, will not be present at Hoogerheide to defend his shirt.
