European Cyclo-cross Championships: "It was a really great battle with Joran. He was very strong. It was difficult for either of us to break away, so it all came down to an explosive effort in the final lap. It’s quite a demanding course, but at the same time, it’s hard to create any gaps—especially when you’re the one leading, which takes a lot of energy. I felt I still had an extra gear in my legs on the stairs. I really tried to make the difference there, because I wasn't confident about my chances in a sprint. There’s still a lot to come. Every race is just as important to me. Next weekend is just as significant. I really want to let this jersey shine." said Thibau Nys 🇧🇪 (Belgium)

European Cyclo-cross Championships: "It was a tough race, the entire final lap was grueling. Marie was very strong today, especially on the stairs—she pushed us to our absolute limit there. Perhaps that’s why Ceylin made a mistake Schreiber started her sprint a bit earlier than I did. I tried to get past her and pulled up alongside her. And well, the jury made their decision. I can’t really say anything more about it. Every title is wonderful, but this one feels a bit different." said Lucinda Brand (Netherlands)

European Cyclo-cross Championships: "The UCI and UEC always promote fair and clean sport, and then they do this. This isn't fair, either. We reviewed the footage. Lucinda and I both shared our perspectives. Lucinda said I didn't do anything wrong; she wouldn't have been able to get past me regardless. I’m very grateful she said that, but it didn't change the commissaire's decision. I explained: it’s a sprint after fifty minutes of racing, with a heart rate of 190. I shifted gears, which caused me to drift slightly to the left. But anyone who watches racing knows this is normal. I didn't deliberately close the door on her. Lucinda sees that too, and she’s said as much. It’s simply disrespectful to take away the biggest moment of my career. Everyone knows I had won. If the margin had been two centimeters, I might have understood their position, but the way this happened is just disrespectful. I wanted to go to the podium ceremony, because I thought everyone would hate me if I didn't. But when they treat me like this, I don't owe them anything. It’s difficult to be standing here right now; you can imagine how hard it would have been to stand on that podium. I was told not to go—that I shouldn't let myself be treated this way." said Marie Schreiber (Luxembourg)
