I find the attention given each year to when the ‘big three’ will race cyclo-cross to be a bit disrespectful to the rest of the men’s field. However, I can’t deny it adds to the racing.

By now, I would have expected to be able to post when Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel and Tom Pidcock are scheduled to race in 2024-25. So far, only Wout’s schedule is public.

We will have to wait for others to announce their schedules. It is rumoured that the Exact Cross in Loenhout 🇧🇪 will see both Wout and Mathieu race. Will it be for the first time this season?

Looking closer ahead to the World Cup in Namur 🇧🇪 this weekend, Puck Pieterse is set to make a welcome return to the Elite Women’s field.

But… the announcement I am hoping for the most would be that Marianne Vos is going to race this season. I have everything crossed! 🤞

@DurableAce Puck, Lucinda, and Ceylin are the most fun racers to watch. Glad to see her returning to racing!

@chrishuck I agree, but I will die in defence of anything Marianne Vos does on a bike! 🙂
