With Nuss and Mani's cx form perhaps a bit dulled from a summer of riding gravel, a good chance for Holmgren to snag an elite podium (potentially her first?) As is often the case with junior champions, she's aged out so will never actually get to race in the rainbow bands.

Bastaens back on top on day 1 in the men's race, Rochette stays on top on in the women's race. Holmgren doesn't make the podium but edges out Nuss for 4th.
Between the women's elite and junior races, 6 of the top 10 positions were taken by Canadians (1 France, 3 USA).

Wow. Thanks for posting that. I can’t tell from reading that if S&M will be riding European races or just domestic?A return S&M for the 2023/24 CX season.....

Id assume Honsinger probably will do a fair few, but the others will most likely be domestic or maybe a trip around Christmas like many North American CX riders do
Shirin van Anrooij gaat fors minder crossen, met pijn in het hart
Interview Shirin van Anrooij was vorig seizoen een van de revelaties van het veldritseizoen, met onder meer drie wereldbekerzeges en de wereldtitel bij de beloften. Komende winter gaat ze het echter anders aanpakken. Tegenover WielerFlits vertelt ze dat ze fors snijdt in haar wedstrijdprogramma...
Van Anrooij cutting back on the number of CX races this winter; was always likely to happen - and I suspect Nys eventually will do the same.
Also Puck Pieterse will probably not race every CX worldcup this season because of the olympics next year. Confirmed it in her youtube video "Olympic test event Paris 2023 | course recon".
No Holmgren for Charm City CX, who seemed the only likely obstacle to another Rochette procession. Is she at Snowshoe for the XCO? Can't seem to find a start list. The drama on the men's side, as ever, is which American, if any, can upset an all Euro podium.

She's still a Junior in MTB, and there is no junior World Cup category, so I doubt she's there.
It's actually not that dramatic, she says she'll do 15 cross races, compared to 19 last season.Shirin van Anrooij gaat fors minder crossen, met pijn in het hart

Alpecin have named their CX squad for the season - with a notable omission - Puck. However on her instagram earlier in the week, she showed a clip on her CX bike at Snowshoe, in the Fenix-Deceuninck jersey?
Maybe they form sort of a Canyon Collective for cyclocross, with Puck Pieterse, Rochette, Backstedt, Cat Ferguson...
Well that is possible - though Puck is on Shimano, the others are on Sram, Zipp, etc
Alpecin, Fenix , 777, Corendon et al are all teams owned by the Roodhoft brothers.
Think they just spread the talent around to keep all the sponsors happy.
Traditionally since Canyon started sponsoring Alpecin Fenix/Corendon Circus, the other teams all rode Stevens. Crelan Corendon and Cyclocross Reds (formally 777) are on Stevens so I think Puck is still with Alpecin Deceuninck but as she's reducing her cross race schedule, she hasn't been included. Although van der Poel is included and I'd assume he won't be doing a full season, or will he....
In other news, the first Belgian CX of the year is tomorrow with most of the names one would expect on the start list. Van Anrooij and van Empel are starting their season from the beginning although van Anrooij will take a break after the Trek race is what I've seen.
Nieuwenhuis and Haverdings from Baloise Trek are taking an extra weekend in the US and joining Ferdinande, Bastaens and Roullier out there in Indianapolis today and tomorrow.
The National Trophy in the UK seems to be having a livestream this year on youtube, or at least the first round. But it is a new YouTube channel, so may end up being something like the CX version of Monument HQ is for the national road series. In the recent past, the only UK CX I've seen broadcast is the Abergavenny round on S4C and then the National Champs.

She wasn't originally on the list of registered names on the UCI website - so it's possible she won't be doing a full season to prepare for Paris 2024. On her instagram you do see her often in the Fenix jersey, so that is possible.
I see that Beringen have changed the course in preparation for the Belgian Nationals in a few years - as they didn't want a climbing cross. Really??? WTF
What is the problem with climbing? I just don't get it......
At her XCO WC Mont-Sainte-Anne course recon
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMqJsvxFFxw
she said she'll ride the CX WC next week.Yes, she said similar in a previous recon ride, when talking to Mona.....Who mentioned she did the Junior CX Worlds in 2020......I think its fair to say that Mona is not suited to CX; a lightweight climber with very little explosivity.
