Special Photo Gallery: Sanne Cant will ride her last cyclocross race on Sunday, the 23rd of February 2025, the Internationale Sluitingsprijs in Oostmalle. The 34-year-old from Antwerp has won just about every cross event on the calendar, and was the elite World cross champion in 2017, 2018, 2019, and the European champion in 2014, 2015 and 2017. She was also Belgian champion from 2010 to this year, where she decided no to ride as she knew was retiring, that’s fifteen years in a row. Photographer, John Thomson, is a Sanne Cant fan and has picked his favourite 12 photos of the ‘Belgian Queen of cyclocross’.

John Thomson: “This is my “Sanne’s Dozen” photo gallery in celebration of a legend of the sport and one of my favourite riders to shoot. A gallery of 12 shots of the Belgian great Sanne Cant. And wishing her all the best in her future endeavors.”
