Mathieu van der Poel, Marianne Vos honour Sanne Cant in retirement music video
Belgian lauded for successful career🌳 with thr🧸ee World and 15 Belgian titles

澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Sanne Cant crossed the finish line in fourth place in the X2O Badkamers Trophy round in Lille, marking the end of a long and successful seasꦏon in cyclocros🍒s.
Her Crelan team had a surprise for the 34-year-old - publishing a music video honouring her career which contained messages from several riders including 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Mathieu van der Poel, 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Marianne Vos, 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Puck Pieterse and new Belgian champion and teammate Marion Norbert ♐Riberolle.
Cant claimed 12🀅7 victories during her elite cyclocross career, taking the first of 15 Belgian National Championship titles in 2010 and winning the race every year until this January, when Riberolle took over the jersey.
She won her first of 11 World Cups in 2014 and three World titles in a row from 2017 to 2019. But more importantly, Cant used her position as the top woman in the sport to push for changes.𝓡 During her career, the women's races went from being held in the morning before the under-23 men to being held in prime time just before the elite men.
The women's races also earned a prime time slot at the World Championships, their races became longer and more competitive and more prize money came along with the impꦍroved prestige.
Like most cyclocross racers, Cant also competed on the road, most recently with Fenix-Deceuninck. She suffered a nearly career-ending injury during 澳洲幸运5开奖官网在线查询开奖结果:Paris-Roubaix𝓡 in 2023 that left her with 6🅷0 stitches in her face, some within millimetres of her eye.
Teammate Laurens Sweeck praised Cant as an inspiration for young riders, Puck Pieterse said "Thanks for all the beautiful moments on and off the bike" and Riberolle added, "I'm going to do🥃 my best with this jersey 🉐that you wore for 15 years."
