Puck Pieterse is the current XCO World Cup leader after winning the Nove Mesto test and despite still being a U23. The Dutchman is yet another example of a multidisciplinary athlete capable of shining in cyclocross, MTB and road. He is part of the Fenix-Deceuninck team, the same as Mathieu Van der Poel, and will remain there until 2027.

Now her goal is the MTB Olympics in Paris 2024. We recall that she is currently the European champion of XCO U23 in mtb, while in cyclocross she has already demonstrated her worth among the Elites by conquering a 2nd place in the overall World Cup and in the world behind Fem Van Empel, another young girl in the discipline.

The good thing is that I can freely combine different disciplines. I found a great environment to train with them. I'm sure we can continue to improve together in the coming years – Puck Pieterse

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
