Cyclo-cross world champion Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado claimed the season's first race at the Superprestige Gieten. The series, much shortened due to the coronavirus, opened in October despite the cancellation of the Amstel Gold Race, due to take place one day earlier.
Alvarado made the most of the opportunity, escaping from the field to take a solo win over Annemarie Worst and Lucinda Brand.
Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
