The saturday races are the U23 races. I'll be watching for Fem van Empel (u23 cyclocross world champion) and Puck Pieterse (former junior and U23 cyclocross european champion) Edit: looks like Phelps beat me by seconds!

They're mostly important for starting positions in the long course next sunday if I understand correctly. they also count for the World Cup standings... so, they might not be decisive for the OQR, but for those aiming to win the World Cup they're very important...

We competed in this event in London and Rio. It would be a shame to not qualify for Tokyo. We were in qualification position before the pandemic but now our ranking fell a lot in the past year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
