Many of us will find ourselves heading away from home over the Christmas and New Year period, but if that trip involves heading overseas, that shouldn’t stop you from keeping up with the cycling action.
At this time of year that means cyclocross, and with World Champion Mathieu van der Poel set to face off against Wout van Aert in a cluster of races over what the Belgians call the Kerstperiode, you can expect plenty of action from the two stars.
- December 20 – UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, Antwerp
- December 22 – X2O Trofee, Hofstade
- December 29 – X2O Trofee, Loenhout
- January 2 – Exact Cross, Mol
- January 4 – UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, Zonhoven
In the women’s races, it’s not a head-to-head that generates the interest, but whether anyone can compete with Lucinda Brand, who’s been unstoppable in all three World Cup rounds so far, riding away from the field to win solo.
Here’s how to watch the action wherever you are
To watch the Cyclocross World Cup live in both the US and Canada, you’ll need a subscription to FloBikes. If you live in the UK, you can follow the action on TNT Sports with a subscription to Discovery+.
Those are both georestricted, but fortunately, if you’ve got a subscription in your home country and are travelling, you can tune in to watch the action with help from Norton VPN, which has a great deal for Cyclingnews readers right now, saving you at least 50% on a 12-moth subscription – even more for American and Australian users.
