The demands of professional sport require continuous focus and dedication, which can be challenging. Right now, the best decision for Fem is to take a break and focus on her mental well-being. Together with the team, she has chosen to prioritize her health before returning to competition.

Fem explains: “In recent years, I’ve been on an incredible journey – winning three world and European titles at the highest level of cyclocross. This has required a lot of dedication and daily commitment. Right now, I’m facing some challenges. After discussing it with the team, we’ve decided that taking a break from racing is the best step for my mental health and well-being. I’ll focus on my recovery with the goal of coming back stronger."

As a team, we fully support Fem in taking the time and space she needs. We will stand by her side throughout this journey and wish her a smooth recovery.
