“It’s going really well. I’m super happy that I was able to ride at the front the whole race with Lars van der Haar. We understand each other well, so this is really a team victory today.”
-Thibau Nys
“The significance of third is not lost on me. I know that it’s a really big ride still, and obviously my best-ever result. I’m definitely better than this. I’ll work out what this means, and then try again at the next one. It’s an exciting place to be, but I can’t lie, there’s more in me. It feels a bit like an elephant in the room, that first big win. But it can happen in any ‘cross, everything just has to fall into place.”
-Cameron Mason
“I can’t believe it. I did almost the whole race alone and at my own pace. It was amazing; the crowd and everything, it was really fun this way. I felt quite strong, and I knew that when the others behind me made some small mistakes, but I didn’t, that I gained some advantage.”
-Aniek van Alphen soloing to her first World Cup victory.
“I think I can be very happy with today. I suffered a lot, and it was a hard race for me, so I think today , a third place was the maximum.Aniek was outstanding. Halfway through, I thought that the first place was already gone. Of course, I tried, but I didn’t have the legs to ride faster than I did today.”
-Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado returns to racing from injury.
