Tour de France stage winner Teunissen weighing return to cyclo-cross
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Mike Teunissen, the first stage winner and first leader of this year`s Tour de France said he is considering a return to his roots and race a few cyclo-cross events this winter. According to Limburger.nl, Teunissen, the 2013 Cyclo-cross World Champion in the U23 ranks could tackle his first off-road race in three years. `I still have to put together my winter program, but I like it,` Teunissen said after taking 18th at the UEC Road Championships on Sunday.ADVERTISEMENT His trainer Tim Heemskerk thinks it will be good for Teunissen. `I think cyclo-cross riding is an ideal training incentive in the run-up to the Spring Classics. We still need to coordinate the exact period in which we will do that, but it seems like a very good idea.` Teunissen mixed road and cyclo-cross throughout his early career but leaned more toward the road after joining the Rabobank Development team in 2013. He signed with the WorldTour team LottoNl-Jumbo in 2015 and only raced two cyclo-cross events after jumping to the highest tier on the road. His last `cross race was the Dutch championships in 2016. After two seasons with Sunweb in 2017 and 2018, Teunissen rejoined Jumbo-Visma this season with great success. He won two stages and the points classification in the 4 Days of Dunkirk and the overall ZLM Tour before taking out the opening stage sprint over Peter Sagan in Brussels to take the first maillot jaune of the Tour de France. He led for two days. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
