The 2024-25 cyclocross season is well underway with all the major series in full swing and races coming thick and fast as the festive season approaches.
This season there are four big competitions to follow, with the Belgium- and Netherlands-based Superprestige, X2O Trofee and Exact Cross series joined by the UCI World Cup, which also features upcoming events in France and Spain.
The action runs all the way to February with the UCI Cyclo-Cross World Championships taking place in Liévin, France on February 1 and 2.
Riders including Fem van Empel, Lars van der Haar, Lucinda Brand, Eli Iserbyt, Annemarie Worst, Ceylin Del Carmen Alvarado, Michael Vanthourenhout and Thibau Nys are all in action this season.
Meanwhile, top stars Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert have yet to make an appearance but are slated to make their returns to the mud in late December.
