At 22 years old, Puck Pieterse wrote a page of MTB history by becoming the first woman to win two consecutive UCI World Cups in both cross country olympic and short-track races.
Following her back-to-back XCO and XCC victories at the World Cup in Leongang, Austria, the FENIX-Deceuninck rider secured another double win in Val di Sole, Italy. “It’s quite cool,” said the current XCO world champion about her “double double” in a post-race interview.
An outstanding record that adds to a brilliant 2025 MTB season, which has seen Pieterse on the top of the podium in seven occasions so far, including the Dutch National Championship XCC.
