U23 road world champion Puck Pieterse is no longer on the start list for the Netherlands at the UCI Road World Championships, as she has withdrawn from the elite women's lineup scheduled for September 21-28 in Kigalli, Rwanda.

Pieterse, who turned 24 in May, was confirmed two weeks ago to be part of a star-studded seven-rider Dutch roster that includes three-time road race champion Marianne Vos and two-time road race champion Anna van der Breggen, as well as Demi Vollering, who had silver medals from past Worlds in both the road race and time trial.
