Lars Boom has confirmed that he will make his cyclo-cross comebach on Boxing Day in the World Cup race in Zolder. ​​The Astana rider made the announcement in Ziggo Sport.

For some time it has been rumored that Boom was planning a cyclo-cross comeback. The former world champion had to get permission from his employer. "I have to find a time that fits into my program. And I still have to get permission from the team. I won't do anything without their approval," he said earlier this month.
