Cyclo-Cross World Cup 2024 – 5 🇮🇪 WE – Dublin, Ireland
The UCI World Cup series is the pinnacle of the cyclocross season. The series often attracts the world’s best cyclocross racers and includes some of the most prestigious races on the calendar. This series will feature 14 rounds this season, with races held across Europe and the US as the UCI attempts to broaden the sport’s reach and bring cyclocross to a global audience. The UCI CX World Cup uses a points system to decide the rankings, with the first 25 riders to cross the finishing line scoring points. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th place score 40, 30, 25, 22 and 21 points respectively, with riders then scoring one less point for every position they finish further down the field. These points then go towards the UCI CX World Cup rankings, with the rider who has accumulated the most points by the end of the series taking the overall victory. During the series, the leader in the rankings after each round will receive a white jersey with red accents to wear at the next race.
Lucinda Brand (Baloise Trek Lions) claimed the 50th elite win of her cyclocross career and her first victory of the season with a dominant start-to-finish display at the UCI World Cup in Dublin, attacking away on the opening lap and never being caught.
Overall World Cup leader Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (Alpecin-Deceuninck) had to settle for second after she tried to chip away at Brand’s advantage but couldn’t make contact before the six laps were up, stifled in her chase by small mistakes such as getting her bars caught in the side netting.
Brand’s cyclocross season had a delayed start after she suffered a shoulder injury on the road at the Simac Ladies Tour in September that required surgery, but today she showed she was definitely back to her best and fully recovered.
