16 May: Wenzel robbed of the GC-win at Flèche du Sud in favour of a Dutch WT team 👍🏽

7 Nov: Schreiber robbed of CX Euros gold in favour of a Dutch rider 👍🏽

Dear Netherlands, is this revenge for us having the prettier red, white and blue flag? 🇱🇺🇳🇱 /s

@Meddi16K @Jasper_PHILIPS1 Jo absolut! Et ass eng laecherlech decisioun an d'Brandt hued no der course jo selwer gesoot dass et den sprint nimols gewonnen haet!

Einfach schued

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

Sorry, but that’s never a relegation 🤣

Once again, a Luxembourger gets robbed by the commissaires. But the streets won’t forget who really won this year’s European Cyclo-cross Championships.

Head up, Marie Schreiber. Your time will come. 🇱🇺

@InsideOut2912 All but 1 commissaire from the netherlands btw

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

@CyclingWerewolf You can ofc have your own opinion

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

@CyclingWerewolf Pretty much agree with this https://t.co/4TZN4TRwGf

[Bence Czigelmajer @cycloben2]

To sum up: this isn’t an irregular sprint.

As long as Marie Schreiber is clearly ahead of Brand, she clearly has the right to choose her line. Then lactic acid kicks in to Schreiber, Brand catches her and Marie makes a completely unintentional movement toward Brand, effectively cutting her path off for the victory.

The question for me is why did Brand launch on the left side of the course when there was at least 2,5–3 meters of space on the other side where she could have safely executed this sprint? Obviously, after such an exhausting race, she can’t count on knowing exactly where and how Schreiber will run out of energy, but lactic acid can kick in at any moment, especially since Schreiber started this sprint from afar.

It’s a tough call, unfortunately, the final verdict was made too soon, and while I understand the reasoning behind it, I’d say it’s a 60/40 split in Schreiber’s favor for the Euro Champs title.

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

Would it have been a relegation if the roles were reversed? I honestly doubt it...

Schreiber’s greatest career moment, stolen by a stupid decision 🥲

Good on her for boycotting the podium, her time will come anyway

@laflammerouge16 Still fine imo, I'll take it

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

YES PLEASE 😍😍😍😍😍 #GirodItalia

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

@laflammerouge16 Yeah let's see if the stage even happens 😂

@SvansSports Agree

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

About the “anti-Pogačar route” gimmick 😂👇🏽

Caen 2025: Pog lost 16s to Remco (flat 33km TT).

Garda 2024: he lost 29s to Ganna (flat 31km TT).

Still an easy Pogačar stomp, but the fight for the podium could be generational 🥵

[Inside Out @InsideOut2912]

Just goes to show how deceiving first impressions can be 🤷🏻‍♂️

After taking a closer look, apart from the Grand Colombier stage and maybe one or two too many sprint stages, I actually really like the route, tbh. Kinda hyped for July! 🤔
