What are they spending their Shell, Lloyds money on? Is it really that expensive for them to cover their National CX champs?
The Dutch lack of coverage is nuts; put it on You Tube for goodness sake. It's 2025, TV isn't the only platform.

If nobody's willing to pay for it... it's been on local broadcasters like Omroep Brabant in previous years but frankly nobody's watching those streams. A few thousand people, at the very highest.
Last year's Dutch nationals had a live stream but it was atrociously bad. Then you might as well have no stream at all.
the track team
not sure why theres not even youtube coverage, we've had that before, but I think its down to the local organisers, who this year dont seem like theyre that keen to even be hosting the event, not sure why either.
I saw a thing earlier in the week that described the average income/expense of running a nationals event like this and it was like they expect through sponsors,BC, rider fees and so on to get roughly £23,000 income, but they spend roughly £23500 hiring the venue, building a course, getting all the support required for it, feeding the volunteers etc etc.
and that was before "tv coverage" though lets face it none of the tv channels are going to touch it, but even if its youtube just for BC, its multi cameras, a live feed via 5g data Id guess, but you need experienced professionals to do it, commentary and thats probably an extra £5,000-10,000, and who is going to pay for it ?
also the crazy thing is BC are tweeting little 10sec clips of all the races as they progress !?!
so I guess we get to follow them but just crazy how they treat sections of the sport sometimes.

The MTB (XC/ Downhill) National champs very rarely get any live coverage at all. It doesn't say a lot for them if they can't provide a live stream for their National champs. That should be the minimum requirement from them, not the local organisers.
No, none. The women's race is not that exciting though, just one of the current big three is there and she's already leading by half a minute over Vos and Alvarado. That's what you get on these pure power courses

Pieterse 30" ahead of Alvarado and Vos. After lap 2.
Rhymes with Duck Feeters? Is there a ticker or something?No, none. The women's race is not that exciting though, just one of the current big three is there and she's already leading by half a minute over Vos and Alvarado. That's what you get on these pure power courses
Zolder drier and fast in parts, but still pretty slick in some spots. Pro mens race should be good.

can you believe there are people posting scam youtube links for access to UK coverage, that doesnt exist obviously, but like wtf
Ahead of Alvarado and (surprisingly) Betsema.
The Dutch jersey could be worth almost as much as the rainbow jersey in women's cyclocross. As it stands it's worth just about as much as the Belgian one, which is a pity. But: a jersey is a jersey.
You get that for any sort of sports event. These scam accounts just scan the sports schedule, any kind of sports, and post fake links.can you believe there are people posting scam youtube links for access to UK coverage, that doesnt exist obviously, but like wtf
maybe so, but flips sake how obscure is British national cyclocross championships as an event to scam on.
Xan Crees is the British Women’s champion, Cat Ferguson 2nd and Imogen Wolff 3rd
