The #Druivencross #Overijse #CXWorldCup is one of those iconic races, but not one without issues. This year marked a serious improvement on last year, though, in my opinion. Read my review here:

Men elite coming up in a while, and that will certainly be a muddiest too!

But before they start: I forgot to post the course map before the start of the women's race. So here it is, at long last.

Puck Pieterse's traditional course video. Overijse has a pretty different course but the same vibes. Lots of treacherous muddy corners and some uphill running. Should be a good one
