UCI announce shortened schedule for the 2024/25 Cyclocross World Cup with four races removed from the calendar

The schedule for the 2024/25 UCI World Cup has been officially announced by the world-governing body for next season, with a reduced number of races on the calendar, as there will no longer be any events held in the United States, which had been a firm fixture over the last couple of seasons.

The number of World Cup events has been reduced from fourteen to twelve, with the races in Waterloo, Val di Sole, Troyes and Flamanville all removed from the calendar, whilst a new race in Oristano on the Italian island of Sardinia has been added to schedule, but is yet to be confirmed. Hoogerheide also returns to the schedule after hosting this year’s Cyclocross World Championships.
