Marianne Vos makes her first road appearance of the season for Jumbo-Visma at Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio on Sunday. She ended her cyclocross campaign just prior to the World Championships this winter due to physical issues.

The eight-time cyclocross and former road World Champion has not put on a race number since January, when she finished outside the top 10 in a pair of World Cup ‘cross races and 10th at Dutch nationals. She last raced on the road last September at the UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong.
