Wout van Aert to make cyclocross season debut next week

0

After missing last season’s Cyclocross World Championships, Wout van Aert has his eyes on the rainbow jersey this year.

The Belgian rider will make his cyclocross debut at the Kortrijk X2O Trofee on the 26th of November, and is no longer planning to race the Hulst World Cup where he had been almost confirmed to be present alongside both Tom Pidcock and Mathieu van der Poel.

Van Aert targets the World Championships in Hoogerheide which will take place on the 5th of February.

Until there, van Aert will follow a compact calendar featuring the Antwerp, Dublin, Gavere, Zonhoven and Benidorm World Cups, aswell as the main Christmas block, before going for another attempt at the rainbow jersey.

Mathieu van der Poel and Tom Pidcock will likely have the same type of schedule.
