Free cyclo-cross coverage
There’s loads of it about, depending on your location. You can watch every single UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup race for free thanks to the UCI YouTube channel – geo-restrictions apply, so it won’t work on the UK and is only occasionally open to those in the US. There is also widespread free-to-air cyclo-cross coverage in Europe, with NOS in the Netherlands and Sporza in Belgium showing most important races.
