It was complete Dutch domination in the U23 Women’s race at the 2021 UEC (European) Continental Cyclocross Championships at the Col du Vam.
Two French racers did their best to disrupt the Dutch train, with Amandine Fouquenet and then later Line Burquier having a go at the strong contingent from the Netherlands.
In the end, nobody could stop Shirin Van Anrooij and Puck Pieterse, as the two went one-two on the day.
Current U23 World Champ Fem van Empel dropped Burquier to make it a clean sweep for the Dutch.
The final podium showed a bright future for the Dutch women:
