Cyclocross Season Starts Now - 2023 2024 World Cup PreviewThe 2023-2024 UCI Cyclocross World Cup season starts officially this Sunday in Waterloo, Wisconsin. A 14-race series, and of course the cherry on the cake, the World Championships.

Beekse Bergen Safari will play host to the fifth stop of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup series that takes place this weekend in Hilvarenbeek, The Netherlands. A new cyclocross venue for the 2022-23 season, the safari boasts a sandy beach and over 1200 animals living on-site.

The second round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup takes place this weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and boasts a nearly identical startlist to the Waterloo World Cup. The Fayetteville ‘OZ Cup’ course will be familiar to many, as it hosted the UCI Cyclocross World Championship earlier this year. There is a good possibility of rain the day before the Elite racers hit the course so the course conditions could race differently than the fast, dry conditions in January at World Championships.

The UCI World World Cup cyclo-cross calendar opens up this season with its first round Sunday, November 29th, in Tabor, Czech Republic.

With many riders opting out of this weekend's racing at Ethias Cross in Essen to focus on the Zonhoven Superprestige on Sunday or to focus on a training block before the next round of World Cups, the fields were quieter than normal without racers like Annemarie Worst or Mathieu Van der Poel. 

GP Mario De Clercq will be streaming live on FloBikes.com along with the full DVV Verzekeringen Trofee Series. Sunday's broadcast begins at 11:42am GMT or 6:42am CST.
