2023-2024 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup #13
Benidorm, Spain
Head to buzzy Benidorm in January to witness one of the most anticipated events in the Cyclo-cross calendar. This Costa Blanca town hosts the penultimate event of the 2023/24 season, and you can expect to see riders taking on the many laps of this short course which features pavement, wooded trails, grass, steep hills and obstacles. This means riders must dismount and carry their bike while navigating the obstruction, before remounting. British cyclist, Tom Pidcock MBE, will be competing too!
