Stybar to miss Niel Jaarmarktcross

Cyclo-cross world champion Zdenek Stybar (Telenet-Fidea) will not take the start in the 'Jaarmarktcross' in Niel, Belgium on Thursday. The Czech is struggling with a locked lower back that is affecting his left knee. After falling relatively short in the Koppenbergcross, Stybar headed to Mallorca, Spain for a training camp with a bunch of European-based non-Belgian riders and his teammate Kevin Pauwels.
