The Cyclocross World Cup in Benidorm surpasses the noise and expectation of major cycling events in Spain
I’ll tell you some things that the Benidorm cyclocross people sell in their communications.
Last minute things, 48 hours before the big day.
The thing will take place in the parks of El Moralet and Foletes, it will be the UCI Cyclocross World Cup- Benidorm Costa Blanca 2024 and we will see if next year, with the changes that are announced, it can remain on the calendar.
The route has a rope of 3000 meters and will have three fan zones, instead of one, because as the organizer told us, last year they fell short.
Last year, Benidorm was the cyclocross with the best attendance in the World Cup.
This year the competition has been in the United States, Ireland, Czech Republic, France, Italy and, of course, in the Netherlands + Belgium binomial.
The race will be seen on Teledeporte and will go out to the world via Eurosport.
Benidorm, an iconic municipality of the tourist industry in Spain, fashionable fifty years ago and today still in the gap will get good returns from this cyclocross, which partially solves the hotel occupancy in January, sells it in northern Europe and identifies it as a sports destination.
Three in one.
Fem van Empel and Mathieu Van der Poel defend last year’s crown
It is the southernmost cyclocross race.
That’s it for the speech, the summary of the career mentor.
It’s not my turn to defend the people who set up this racket, but on this occasion I think the square deserves a separate point.
We are before the most important international cycling competition held in Spain behind the Vuelta a España and I don’t know if it is even ahead of Itzulia, Volta and Klasikoa.
Of course there will be those who think that cyclocross is a smaller discipline, but the noise generated by this test would already be desired by some of the World Tour.
That is a fact that we saw last year and that we will surely appreciate this year.
I know that Benidorm is not going to have a lot of mud and it will have a fast and dusty track, but ladies and gentlemen, this is also cyclocross.
If the north has the mud, the epic and the humidity, the money, the companies and the political consensus is in the south and in the face of that crushing reality, like seeing that Benidorm has taken over from Igorre, little or nothing can be discussed.
Because those of us who have been following for a long time this dying modality in Spain during the ninetiesand in escalation with the new century, we know that what is going to take place on the Costa Blanca is big and unique, being, be careful, and to put our teeth on the line, the only place in Spain where Van Aert, Pidcock and Van will coincide der Poel, and although we know in advance that the last one is a clear favorite, it is still a reason to stick out your chest.
