Fem van Empel misses World Cup podiums on weekend, but 'form is there' for defence of Cyclocross World title

Van Empel Fem van Empel Marianne Vos World Cup Blanka Vas Hoogerheide Lievin Lucinda Brand Maasmechelen

Fem van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike) competes at the World Cup in Maasmechelen, finishing sixth.

Reigning cyclocross world champion Fem van Empel had a weekend marred with crashes and incidents as she finished fourth in Hoogerheide and sixth the previous day at Maasmechelen. The Visma-Lease a Bike rider called Sunday's effort an ‘off day’.

The 22-year-old was in the podium fight at Hoogerheide before sliding out on a slippery corner and riding 53 seconds after Lucinda Brand (Baloise Glowi Lions) took victory, leaving Puck Pieterse (Fenix-Deceuninck) and Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) to take the other spots on the podium.
