On Saturday, it seemed like Joris Nieuwenhuis was set to skip some of the upcoming \u2018cross races. Why? Because continued to deal with knee issues stemming from a crash in Antwerp.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old Ridley Racing Team rider shared the news on Instagram. He said that the problem had lingered longer than expected and that further medical checks were planned before any return to racing.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cFeeling a bit off the past days. My DNF\u2019s are quite rare, and hoped to keep it that way. But ever since my crash in Antwerp I don\u2019t feel the same on the bike. The knee got a big hit and I still feel that with everything I do,\u201d he posted. \u201cAfter the race we decided to get everything double checked before we start racing again. Keep you posted!\u201d<\/p>\n He was ultimately forced to abandon races in Zolder and Gavere later that week. So, from that post, it certainly sounded like \u2018cross fans wouldn\u2019t see the rider who is constantly in the mix at the big races. However on Sunday, he posted more on his Instagram story which sounds far more promising. \u201cThe season is not on hold. It is mainly a matter of waiting to see how the body reacts in the coming days. Depending on that, we will see which races I will ride,\u201d as reported by Wielerflits<\/a>.<\/p>\n Racing resumes Sunday in Dendermonde, Belgium. Canada will still be well represented at the next World Cup. In the junior men\u2019s race, Evan Moore, Emilien Belzile, Farland Lamont, Sagan Goertz (with a name like that, cycling felt inevitable), Grayson Franks and Thomas Deniger are set to compete. The junior women\u2019s field includes Elly Moore, Alexa Can Haviland, Claire MacKinnon and Clare Hauber.<\/p>\n Four Canadians will race in the under-23 men\u2019s category: Rhett Bates, Liam Sargent, Remi Brisebois and Lucas Goertz.<\/p>\n The elite women\u2019s start list features five Canadians \u2014 Rafaelle Carrier, Nico Knoll, Katja Verkerk, Dorothee Perron and Siobhan Kelly \u2014 while Tyler Scott and Cody Clark will line up in the elite men\u2019s race.<\/p>\n Check back here on Canadian Cycling Magazine for a full report and results for all the races!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Saturday, it seemed like Joris Nieuwenhuis was set to skip some of the upcoming \u2018cross races.
