World champion Mathieu van der Poel has made public his planned cyclocross schedule for the 2024/25 season, including a heavy Kerstperiode block. Here's where you can catch MVDP in the coming weeks:
- Zohoven World Cup (Dec 22)
- Superprestige Mol (Dec 23)*
- Superprestige Gavere (Dec 26)
- Exact Cross Azencross (Dec 27)*
- Bescancon World Cup (Dec 29)
- X2O Trofee Baal (Jan 1)
- X2O Koksijde (Jan 3)
- Dendermonde World Cup (Jan 5)*
- Masmechelen World Cup (Jan 25)*
- Hoogerheide World Cup (Jan 26)
- World Championships, Feb 2, 2025
In contrast to chief rival Wout van Aert, van der Poel DOES plan to contest the world championship. But you can still catch them head-to-head at 4* races where van Aert also plans to attend - I've flagged them in bold, above.
