Marianne Vos to make cyclocross return after almost two years out as she tests form for possible ninth world title

Eight-time cyclocross world champion Marianne Vos will make her long-awaited return to the off-road discipline after nearly two years out, at the World Cup in Besançon on December 29.

The Royal Dutch Cycling Union (KNWU) announced Vos’ return on Monday and confirmed her performance would determine whether she’ll ride at the Cyclo-cross World Championships in Liévin, France later in the season.
