Marianne will continue her cyclocross season on Dutch soil tomorrow at the World Cup race in Hulst. For the multiple world champion, this will mark her first race in the black and yellow outfit of Team Jumbo-Visma.
Saturday’s race in Belgium was Marianne’s first race since she secured the bronze medal at World Championships back in February. After winning the Women’s WorldTour overall title in October, Ethias Cross Essen was a stark contrast to racing on the road.

Strong team play from CCC-Liv led to an amazing second stage victory in the Giro Rosa on Tuesday. The riders accelerated early in the race and consequently dropped a number of strong sprinters. After a flat final, Marianne sprinted to victory.

The Giro Rosa starts this Friday with a team time trial of nearly 17 kilometres in Grosseto (Tuscany). CCC-Liv starts with a strong squad, consisting of Sofia Bertizzolo, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Soraya Paladin, Sabrina Stultiens, Marianne Vos and Pauliena Rooijakkers.
