Marianne Vos will not defend her cyclocross world title, her trade team Jumbo-Visma confirming that she is physically unable to participate at the UCI Cyclocross World Championships held from February 3-5 in Hoogerheide, Netherlands. 

Vos has been experiencing what Jumbo-Visma called 'physical problems' due to pelvic artery constriction, which has prevented her from competing at her best in cyclocross this season.
