Stybar may choose road over cyclo-cross
World champion waiting to s🎐ee road potential befoꦬre deciding
World cyclo-cross champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zdenek Stybar may have to make a tough choice between his road career with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Quick Step and his winter pursuits in the mud in the fu🐎ture, but is planning on a full off-road season this year and the defense of his rainbow jersey in Koksi💮jde in January.
The Czech rider is unsure, however, whether a heavy road season has left him with enough freshness to compete at the top level in𝕴 'cross.
, Stybar, who is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:sitting out the weℱekend's race in Kalmthout because of a banged up knee, said, "there is a cha꧅nce that at some point I will not ra✃ce 'cross".He still has goals for the discipline, and will be competing for 🐼the World Cup, Superprestige and GvA Trofee. But, he said, "If I do not perform well in the rankings, then I might not do a few races."
"I've done a heavy road season, but I have no iജdea how my body will react. In November, it may be clear that I am not fresh, and must rest. I will have to curtail my calendar to return in top, also in view of the road season in 2012."
A focus on ⛦a more lucrative road career already took Dutchman Lars Boom from the cyclo-cross peloton, but Stybar isn't quite ready to end his off-road car🐻eer.
"In late 2013, when my contract expires at Quick Step, I will make a final choice bet𝓡ween the riding 'cross and road. I can not continue to combine these two🌄 sports.
