UCI Cyclocross World Championships 2026 Free Streams: How to watch online | Daily Reports Online
Can anyone stop Mathieu van der Poel claiming his record breaking 8th World title in the men’s event or prevent Lucinda Brand from topping off what has already been an exceptional season in the women’s race?
2026 UCI Cyclocross World Championships event preview
Returning to the Netherlands for the first time since 2023, the town of Hulst will play host to this year’s championships, and the locals will be confident that compatriots Mathieu van der Poel and Lucinda Brand can claim top honours in the Elite races.
Staged over three days, seven gold medals will be up for grabs, starting with the team relay on Friday 30 January and concluding with the men’s Elite race on Sunday 1 February.
Van der Poel is the outright favourite for the men’s event. He has won every race he has started this season, and in such commanding fashion that the rest of the field has often looked like rank amateurs. His total domination, raw power and sublime skills are a wonder to behold, and should he claim an eighth world title he would move one clear of the legendary Erik De Vlaeminck as the most decorated rider of all time.
In the women’s event, World Cup winner Lucinda Brand is the favourite on paper, but signs of fatigue last weekend may offer hope to her rivals. Riders such as Puck Pieterse, who claimed back-to-back World Cup victories, and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado arrive in peak condition and will be ready to capitalise on any weakness.
