It’s a moment many of us have been waiting for, and now Trek has stepped up to make it happen by offering legit streaming in the U.S. of the DVV Verzekeringen Trofee Series (formerly Bpost Bank Trofee) and Soudal Classics cyclocross series. The streaming starts with the Koppenbergcross on November 1. Details below.

WATERLOO, WI—Trek Bicycle has reached a broadcast agreement with Golazo Sports to stream the DVV Insurances Trophy, Europe’s premier cyclocross series, live on the brand’s website, trekbikes.com. Beginning November 1st, U.S. cyclocross fans will be able to watch the entire DVV Insurances Trophy, and select Soudal Classic races, live on trekbikes.com free of charge. The initiative, designed to provide easily accessible coverage of the sport to fans in the U.S., underpins Trek’s deep commitment to the sport of cyclocross.
Providing U.S. consumers seamless access and exposure to the fast-growing sport of cyclocross is a key initiative for Trek. Currently, fans in the United States must watch the highest echelon of the sport via paid subscription services, tunneling VPNs, or grey-market websites. To date, these channels have not provided a great viewing experience, and in many cases have caused American fans to risk their digital security in order to enjoy a race. Watching for free via trekbikes.com provides an easy, reliable method for all to enjoy world-class cyclocross from the convenience of their computer, phone, or tablet.
Earlier this year, Trek live-streamed its annual backyard UCI cross race, the Trek CXC Cup, providing an opportunity for a worldwide audience to watch stars like Katie Compton, World Champion Wout van Aert, and the Telenet-Fidea team, along with a field of world-class talent.
The free stream is available to US viewers on trekbikes.com. Simply visit the Trek Bikes website to watch the action live. The complete streaming schedule is below.
