Cyclo-cross is a form of cycling that combines road racing and mountain biking on a short, varied course that usually includes pavement, grass, mud, sand, hills, and obstacles. Cyclo-cross riders use bikes that look similar to road bikes but have wider tires, lower gears, and more clearance for mud. Cyclo-cross races typically last between 30 and 60 minutes and are held in autumn and winter. Cyclo-cross is a popular sport in Europe, especially in Belgium and the Netherlands, where it attracts large crowds and media attention. Cyclo-cross is also growing in popularity in other parts of the world, such as North America and Japan. The most important competition in cyclo-cross is the UCI World Cup Cyclo-cross, which consists of 14 rounds in different countries. The current overall winners of the UCI World Cup Cyclo-cross are Laurens Sweeck and Fem van Empel from the Netherlands. Cyclo-cross is a challenging and exciting sport that tests the riders' skills, endurance, and versatility.
