disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>Schreiber crossed the line first in the Elite Women\u2019s race at Zeddam in the Netherlands, apparently bagging the biggest win of her career, but a few minutes later, she was relegated for an irregular sprint. She later refused to attend the podium ceremony.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1079a4de-db5b-11f1-b901-3f60fd0a907a-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;The UCI and UEC they always advocate for and everyone they always advocate for clean and fair sport and then they do this, it\u2019s unfair,&#8221; Schreiber said after the race.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">She and World Champion Lucinda Brand (Netherlands) had come into the finish straight together after the Luxembourgish rider overtook on the brutal run up the flight of 99 steps.

It\u2019s hard to be standing here right now, so you can imagine it\u2019s harder to stand on the podium, so they said I shouldn\u2019t go, I shouldn\u2019t let myself be treated like this.

Riding for her road trade team, SD Worx-Protime, Schreiber has had an excellent start to the 2026\/27 season, winning the two opening races of the year, taking three more wins, with third place at the X2O Koppenbergcross her worst result.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1079a600-db5b-11f1-a36a-5340de5077b3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.

id=\"elk-1079a4de-db5b-11f1-b901-3f60fd0a907a\">Luxembourgish rider Marie Schreiber has condemned the decision to relegate her to second place at the European Cyclo-cross Championships on Saturday as disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>Schreiber crossed the line first in the Elite Women\u2019s race at Zeddam in the Netherlands, apparently bagging the biggest win of her career, but a few minutes later, she was relegated for an irregular sprint. She later refused to attend the podium ceremony.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1079a4de-db5b-11f1-b901-3f60fd0a907a-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;The UCI and UEC they always advocate for and everyone they always advocate for clean and fair sport and then they do this, it\u2019s unfair,&#8221; Schreiber said after the race.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">She and World Champion Lucinda Brand (Netherlands) had come into the finish straight together after the Luxembourgish rider overtook on the brutal run up the flight of 99 steps. Leading out, Schreiber opened her sprint early, holding Brand at bay. From the footage, it was clear she did move to her left as the pair closed in on the finish line, and it seems it was this move the race commissaires penalised.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;We reviewed the footage and both me and Lucinda said our views,&#8221; Schreiber said. &#8220;Lucinda said I did nothing wrong, she couldn\u2019t have passed anyway, so I think it\u2019s really thankful that she said this, but it doesn\u2019t change the commissaires\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase md:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            You may like<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HorHD9KqaMrhL6oVauN5m4-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/HorHD9KqaMrhL6oVauN5m4-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">European Cyclo-cross Championships: Lucinda Brand wins elite women&#8217;s title after Marie Schreiber is relegated<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/byp5uLebazZxLDG2NhEPME-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/byp5uLebazZxLDG2NhEPME-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;This one feels different&#8217; &#8211; Lucinda Brand on winning European cyclo-cross title after rival was relegated<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vgfSf2RcEkXpRrkgCoLLf-250-80.png.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/vgfSf2RcEkXpRrkgCoLLf-150-80.png.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;There were a lot of people racing for second&#8217; \u2013 Frustrated Marlen Reusser rues mistake in World Championships road race after narrowly missing podium in fourth<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It\u2019s a sprint after 50 minutes of all out racing, you come with 190 heart rate, I change my gear, I saw I moved a little bit to the left, but then I think if every person watches the race you know this moving around it\u2019s normal.

It\u2019s hard to be standing here right now, so you can imagine it\u2019s harder to stand on the podium, so they said I shouldn\u2019t go, I shouldn\u2019t let myself be treated like this. I can live with a fine probably better than going to sleep tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Though she has a World Cup race win to her name, victory in the Euros would have been by far the biggest success of Schreiber\u2019s career. Riding for her road trade team, SD Worx-Protime, Schreiber has had an excellent start to the 2026\/27 season, winning the two opening races of the year, taking three more wins, with third place at the X2O Koppenbergcross her worst result.<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-1079a600-db5b-11f1-a36a-5340de5077b3\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.
