Fem van Empel won the Kiremko Nacht van Woerden on Tuesday and the Exact Cross Heerderstand on Saturday, but she cannot make it a hat-trick. The world champion does not feel fully fit the day after her 50th cyclocross victory and will not start the Superprestige in Overijse. This was announced by Visma | Lease a Bike through their channels.
Don’t look for the rainbow jersey in Overijse this afternoon. Van Empel is not feeling fully fit and must skip the Superprestige race. "Unfortunately, Fem will not start today’s Superprestige cyclocross in Overijse because she is not feeling fully fit. Speedy recovery, Fem!" her team reports via X.
