Today the organization of the Trophy Cyclocross – which this year will be called X²O Bathrooms Trophy Cyclocross – announced the calendar for this season.
The regularity criterion consists of 8 races, but the Azencross in Loenhout is not included this year. The popular cyclo-cross skips a year.
“Given the specific nature of the course, which is largely located in a densely populated village center and is extremely difficult to close, it is not realistic to organize a cross now. Together with the municipality, we have tried to find an alternative location in Wuustwezel. , but that turned out to be impossible “, says Christophe Impens of
organizer Golazo Sports.
A cross in Herentals takes the place of the Azencross once. The new competition on the domain of Sport Vlaanderen will take place on Wednesday 23 December, with an old ski hill as the executioner.
Wout van Aert will be at the start in his backyard, just like his eternal rival Mathieu van der Poel. They also cross swords in Baal and Hamme.
Van Aert made his comeback in Loenhout last year, where Van der Poel won for the 3rd time in a row. In the women’s team, teammate Ceylin Alvarado plodded through the mud the most.
You can follow each cross directly on the Sporza channels: in our app, on our website and on television.
