Mark Chick@mvdhout It was special to see Lars at his last World Championships. At around 2/3 distance he sat up, seemingly in pain. I was worried he might not finish. I am pleased he did. #CX #CycloCross #Veldrijden #Hulst2026
@DurableAce he wasn't happy with his performance, almost crying. He loves this sport so much. But Lucy was close to giving birth to their second child and that almost stopped him from riding this one. He's such a great human.
Chris Huck@mvdhout @DurableAce A legend in the sport. Just puts in the work, humble, and a great human. He’s been my favorite cross rider for a long time.
Steve@chrishuck @mvdhout @DurableAce I thought there might have been some sort of retirement presentation or similar on the podium, but if there was I didn't see it or it wasn't shown in the big screen. Although maybe he didn't want to hang around!
Still in awe of his dismount and remount speed over the barriers here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XE4tWHXf6o8
