The second round of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup takes place this weekend in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and boasts a nearly identical startlist to the Waterloo World Cup. The Fayetteville ‘OZ Cup’ course will be familiar to many, as it hosted the UCI Cyclocross World Championship earlier this year. There is a good possibility of rain the day before the Elite racers hit the course so the course conditions could race differently than the fast, dry conditions in January at World Championships.

The 2022-2023 UCI Cyclocross World Cup kicks off this weekend in Waterloo, Wisconsin. Americans will show up in force for the rare opportunity to line up against Europe’s best on home soil.

Read on for FloBikes’ picks for the opening round of the World cup.
