Cycling: At the end of January, the World Cycling Championships will take place in Fayetteville, USA. As the BDR announced today, the current German champions, Marcel Meisen and Elisabeth Brandau, are unsurprisingly being sent into the race.
Meisen & Brandau need a surprise
Unsurprisingly, the Federation of German Cyclists has nominated Marcel Meisen and Elisabeth Brandau, the current title holders of the German Championship, for the Cycle Cross World Championships. In Fayetteville, USA, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, the top favorites for the men, are missing, but both Marcel Meisen and Elisabeth Brandau for the women have to pull off a big surprise in order to actually fight for the title can.
The youngsters are also looking for new title holders
The new world champions will be crowned on January 29th and 30th. While the men's U23 race and the junior women's competition have to do without German professionals, two drivers were nominated for the women's U23 race. Clea Seidel and Judith Krahl try to land a surprise coup in Fayeteville, as does Silas Kuschka in the juniors' competition.
