It looks like a better schedule for the majority of the athletes who will be competing in the sport. Let's fact it...all the travel is terrible for the athlete's and team budgets.

Oristano also falls on the weekend traditionally used for riders to go to training camp, so I guess it will be another one for the 3rd tier riders
That makes some sense as Oristano is to be one of the protected events where riders cannot compete elsewhere that weekend.

So Pauwels Sauzen have linked up with Soudal Quickstep and and AG Soudal which gives Leonie Bentveld and also it appears Viktor Vandenberghe the opportunity to ride for the teams respective devo teams. I wonder if this is a simple link for development or much further, such as Tim Merlier rides for the Sauces in the winter and whether the Sauces move to Specialized despite being with Ridley till 2026. As much as Ridley would probably like to be back in the World Tour it probably won't happen the other way as Specialized is a bigger brand and is with at least the men's team until 2027.

Trek to end their title sponsorship, but will continue to supply the team's bikes. I don't think it's a huge surprise...The recent news of making cuts, and CX is the least important of their disicplines

Joris Nieuwenhuis out of Baloise Trek.

"Logically, a number of riders also hope for an improved contract for the future. Understandable, but unfortunately it is not feasible for the team and the budget to go along with all these increases. We want to be a team that can score from the width in the near future." from google translate - team press release


Not many options left for him, will Pauwels Sauzen have budget for him or will he be another piece in the Roodhooft's chess board?

Less budget due to less money from Trek? CX is their least important discipline globally...

From what I've read on Cyclocross24 on Twitter, he's signing for the owner of the old Fidea team.....

In North American cross, Andrew Strohmeyer and Helene Clauzel have both swept the 4 USCX races to date. Sidney McGill has three 2nds and a 3rd, in addition to winning both days of the Englewood weekend prior to the start of USCX.

I have to admit, I haven't taken as much interest this year, mainly to no live coverage. Saying that, none of the other CX races have had any.

My guess is the first broadcasted race will be Saturday, Round 1 of the HSF System/old TOI TOI Cup. But haven't checked if it will be full race or highlights.

Cycocross 24 race calendar has race as cancelled, with the first one on 5th October.
TV schedule is pretty packed this weekend with road worlds and mountain bike world cup.

I don’t think the Holmgrens or Honsinger have been in any of those races. Do you know what their plans are for the season? Perhaps one or both Holmgrens are at the road WCs?

Watching the Junior women's ITT this morning and CX riders in the medals; Ferguson, Chladanova & Wolff..... And all now signed to WWT teams.

I'm still surprised that men's junior CX World champion, Stefano Viezzi hasn't attracted any interest; but the Benelux CX teams tend to look after their own.
