“Together with the municipal council and mayor Dimitri Van Laere van Kruibeke, we have come to an agreement that the Polderscross may still be organized without public and under strict corona measures.”
“Only the elite men and women will get to work that day. There are no youth series scheduled. This way we limit the number of people on the course to a strict minimum”, organizer Kurt Vernimmen says.
The cyclocross will not take place at Sporthal De Dulpop this year, where it used to be. The Polderscross is moving to a new location for this edition.
“We were not able to close the site at De Dulpop very well. We can close off the new location, which we do not want to disclose, so that no public can gather along the course. The new location has already been approved by the KBWB”, continues. Vernimmen.
The Polderscross will also be given a new date. “We deliberately move our cross from October 10 to October 3. After all, on October 11 there is the Superprestige cross in Gieten in the Netherlands. By moving to October 3, there is now also a cyclocross race in that weekend and there are no two races in it. one weekend, “said Vernimmen.
Last year, victory in the Polderscross went to Eli Iserbyt, who was stronger than Toon Aerts and Quinten Hermans. With the women we got a completely Dutch stage. Annemarie Worst then left Yara Kastelijn and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado behind.
