How to watch the DVV Scheldecross and the Superprestige Zonhoven

After a quiet couple of weeks in Europe, the racing resumes in full force in Belgium for rounds of the DVV Trofee and Superprestige cyclocross series. These rounds should give us a good indication of who is going strong ahead of the Christmas Cross period. Two rounds of the UCI Cyclocross World Cup come around Christmas, at Namur on Dec. 23 and Heusden-Zolder on Boxing Day, and 12 Canadians will be there for the busy Christmas Cross period.
