Report translated from Nico Dick (wielerflits.be) “Wout van Aert has added to his cyclocross program with the opening round of the World Cup in Tábor and the Superprestige cross in Boom. For example, there are currently eight games on his schedule, but there may be a number more. After Kortrijk, where he will start his winter program next Saturday (November 28), Van Aert will fly straight on to the Czech Republic for the opening round of the World Cup. A week later, the winner of Milan-San Remo and two Tour stages, among others, also takes the Superprestige branch in Boom. This is followed in principle by a small break: during the Antwerp-Gavere weekend (12-13 December) Van Aert wants to do an internship. The next cross on his program is the competition for the X2O Trophy in his hometown Herentals. For the time being, that is also the first duel with Mathieu van der Poel, although that first direct confrontation can possibly be brought forward if both toppers announce their full calendar”
