Cyclo-Cross World Championships 2023 WJ – Hoogerheide
The UCI Cyclocross World Championships are the pinnacle of every CX season. Win here and a rider will write their names into the sport’s history books for all of eternity, not to mention get the honour of wearing the iconic rainbow jersey for an entire year! The events will take place in Hoogerheide, Netherlands, on a much-loved course.
Isabella Holmgren led home a one-two finish for Canada in the junior women’s race at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, finishing 20 seconds up on her twin sister Ava in Hoogerheide.
France’s Celia Gery took bronze after outsprinting Italian Federica Venturelli to the line after 42 minutes of racing. Dutchwoman Lauren Molengraaf finished in seventh after strongly challenging the Canadian duo during the race before suffering an unfortunate puncture midway through the race.
“I don’t think I’ve totally processed it yet,” Holmgren said after the race. “I’m really excited and Ava being second makes it better. It’s really exciting. I’m happy we’re going to be able to hear the national anthem again and I hope it sets a good start for the rest of the categories this weekend.”
