Cyclocross World Championships live stream: preview
Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel shared the podium the last time the Cyclocross World Championships were staged in Hoogerheide and, nine years later, the Low Countries rivals are still the No.1 topic of conversation. But there's a new rivalry developing in the elite women's ranks. Fireworks are expected between 20-year-old compatriots Fem van Empel and Puck Pieterse.
Tom Pidcock and Marianne Vos have opted against defending their titles and rainbow jerseys at the 74th edition of the event, which sees many of the world's best elite, under-23 and under-18 cyclocross riders traverse a looped course set with boobytraps and obstacles galore, including heavy sand, jagged steps, brutal slopes and – judging by the weather forecast – whole pools of sludge.
Those absences would have been a blow were it not for the fearsome form of van Aert, van der Poel, van Empel and Pieterse, who are, by some distance, the favorites in the elite men's and elite women's categories. They've been dominant this cyclocross season, and you can expect plenty of comparisons to be made between the veteran duo and the Dutch youngsters, who have directed pointed jibes at each other over recent weeks.
Satrting with the team relay on Friday, there are seven events in total, however, only the individual competitions are being televised. They begin on Saturday and continue through to Sunday. The 2023 Cyclocross World Championships schedule is listed just below.
