Van Aert, Cant set for CrossVegas return
Reigning UCI world champion Wout Van Aert and fellow 2015-16 cyclo-cross World Cup overall winner Sanne Cant will return to the US next month to start their latest World Cup campaigns at CrossVegas, the opening round of the 2016-17 series.
Van Aert (Crelan-Vastgoedservice) started last season with a win at CrossVegas, which will open the World Cup series for the second consecutive year. Cant finished third in last year's Vegas race.

"It may sound a bit weird to some people, but I always love coming back to CrossVegas," Van Aert said. "My first CrossVegas was in 2013, when I traveled with Bart Wellens and Quinten Hermans. It was just so much fun. First, there was the race itself, but, also, we explored the city and were pretty impressed. I will never forget that trip. Of course, last year was different, because it was the first World Cup in the States, so I was more focused. And it turned out very well with the victory. It was the start of a brilliant season, so I only have good memories."
Cant echoed her Belgian compatriot's impressions of the race.
"It was a very nice experience last year. The course was spectacular, as was the crowd atmosphere. It was a hard but fun race. If we need to go to the US for racing, it's good that CrossVegas is again one of the main races for us."
