The countdown is underway for the UCI Cyclocross World Cup round in Dublin, with tickets now on sale and the opportunity now open to work at the event.
This year’s racing will take place on December 1st, which is a slightly earlier than the first year of the Dublin World Cup but a week later than last year.
The November date last year meant Wout Van Aert (Visma-Lease a Bike) and world champion Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) skipped the Irish race. They wanted to shorten their cyclocross seasons with an eye on staying fresh for the spring classics.
And though racing in Dublin on December 1st is far from a guarantee both – and Tom Pidcock (Ineo Grenadiers) - will be on the start line, it increases the chances somewhat, though Van Aert is still returning from injury.
