After nearly two years away from the cyclocross field, Shirin van Anrooij started from the back row before moving herself up to finish 16th in the first round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Tábor.
Starting on the seventh row, due to having no UCI cyclocross ranking points, the Dutch star worked her way through the field on the fast and icy course in the Czech Republic, to boost her start position for the forthcoming races.
