American fans and racers are excited to see two UCI Cyclocross World Cup stops in the U.S. for the 2016/2017 season, but looking at the preliminary start lists for the 2016 CrossVegas, it appears the costs of a two-stop trip to the States is keeping a good amount of international cyclocross racers from making the trip to compete in Las Vegas or Iowa City.

The upside of that is that more Americans are allowed to take the start of the CrossVegas and JingleCross World Cups, as a record 37 Americans are listed on the Elite Men’s and Women’s start lists.

Have a look at the preliminary start lists below to see if your favorite rider will be competing at CrossVegas this year.
