The 2021 UCI World Cup Namur will bring out a slew of North Americans.
The Namur World Cup is the second World Cup in a doubleheader weekend, after Saturday’s World Cup Rucphen in the Netherlands.
Elite Men
Eli Iserbyt, Toon Aerts, Quinten Hermans, Michael Vanthourenhout, and Lars van der Haar will be competing in the 2021 UCI World Cup Namur.
Unfortunately, Mathieu van der Poel will not be attending the 2021 UCI World Cup Namur. His debut in Rucphen was delayed due to his delayed knee healing. Since he did not get to finish his specific CX training, the team management and Van der Poel himself decided that it was best to delay his season a little longer. However, the good news is that he will be attending the 2021 UCI World Cup Dendermonde on December 26th. As a community, we eagerly await his return.
Wout van Aert will not be attending this race.
