Following the news that Wout van Aert will ride a very limited cyclocross season of perhaps only eight or 10 races, Tom Pidcock's coach Kurt Bogaerts announced that the Briton will follow a similar winter plan.

Van Aert and his Jumbo-Visma team recently planned out his 'cross season, with eight confirmed races between December 9 and January 4 including six meetings with World Champion Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck).
