UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup #11, Maasmechelen

Hosted in the scenic Hoge Kempen National Park, the Maasmechelen round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup utilizes the unique terrain of the former Eisden coal mining site. Since its 2022 debut, the course has become known for its demanding technical features, including steep ramps, tricky off-camber sections, and a distinctive path alongside the Ecotron Lab mirrors. As the penultimate round of the season, it serves as a critical battleground for the overall series standings.
