Shirin Van Anrooij (Baloise-Glowi Lions) feels that she is improving 'step by step' after finishing runner-up in Sunday's UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup at Koksijde.
After the former junior and under-23 cyclocross world champion spent two years away from the sport undergoing surgery for iliac artery endofibrosis last winter, she returned in mid-November at the Tábor World Cup. Before Sunday, the 23-year-old's best result was third place in the Terralba World Cup in Sardinia two weeks ago.
