t's not decided yet if Wout van Aert will ride the CX Worlds or not. His Head of Performance indicated that it's not part of the plans for now, but that a decision will be taken later.
So you can take from it, that it will depend on his results in the coming weeks.

This looks like a very nice #GirodItaliaWomen 🇮🇹🚴♀️👌
9 interesting stages. I hope they can attract a top line-up on this great parcours again, because many top riders have skipped the Giro in the previous years.

More or less the same build-up of the Giro in the last 10-15 years. Quite easy start with already many breakaway stages early on, with all hard stages packed in the final week.
It will be a matter of not peaking too early in the race.

🤶🏻 Christmas Cyclocross is one of the few moments left where you can spot the big stars from the road during the off season
It would also be nice to see more prestigious track events again during Winter too
Ganna, Balsamo, Kopecky,... during a week of track cycling in December

A bit of an unusual race without Casasola and Brand.
Fouquenet finishes strong with a World Cup podium. Still without a team yet?
Alvarado immediately on the podium too. She could have returned earlier 😉

Let's hope that it will finally get done now
It's been a historical mistake that it hasn't been on the Olympic program yet.
Only conservatism & lobbyism by other sports federations could still prevent it.

How much stronger will this new merged team now?
I even doubt if this team will be so much stronger than the current Lotto team.

Lidl-Trek will switch to a 🇩🇪 German license next season.
That makes that EF will remain the only 🇺🇸 American team in the World Tour.
After having T-Mobile, Gerolsteiner and Milram in the 2000s, Germany becomes a major financial player in cycling again today.

Red Bull-Bora has many leaders to satisfy next season. Lidl would like to sign a famous German leader for 2027, so it will be important to keep Lipowitz satisfied if they want to extend him. Sending Evenepoel to the Giro could be an option, but the rider himself is not keen on it

Unfortunately, he had to leave the quiz after one episode. He actually lost against the local cycling commentator Ruben Van Gucht in the deciding final.

Interesting transfer for both parties.
I believe that she is a rider with still potential to grow further. Lotte Kopecky will focus mostly on the classics again, what makes that Cavallar can step up to take a free role in the mountains in a bigger team now.

Still no Fem van Empel this weekend.
The Worldchampion is out for an undefined amount of time
Ahead of the season, she told that she would mostly abandon road cycling to focus on cyclocross instead, but so far, she only could do 3 races.
Let's hope she'll be back soon
