The Telenet UCI World Cup returns this Sunday at World Cup Bern in Switzerland. The race is a one-off for the World Cup series that typically does its races in two-race blocks.
Last year’s fast races were won by Marianne Vos (CCC – Liv) and Mathieu van der Poel (Corendon – Circus), neither of whom are racing at this year’s event. Katerina Nash (Clif Pro Team) enters as the Women’s World Cup overall leader and Eli Iserbyt (Pauwels Sauzen – Bingoal) as the Men’s.
The Women’s start list is headed up by three-time World Champion Sanne Cant (IKO – Crelan). North Americans joining her include Maghalie Rochette (Specialized / Feedback Sports), Kaitie Keough (Cannondale p/b CyclocrossWorld), Katie Compton (KFC Racing p/b Trek Knight), Rebecca Gross (Zero D Racing) and Corey Coogan Cisek (CCC Racing). Honorary North Americans Nash and Caroline Mani (Pactimo / Colorado Proud) are also making the World Cup trip to Switzerland.
Iserbyt leads the Men’s field, looking to stay perfect in the World Cups thus far. Kevin Bradford-Parrish (KBP Racing) is the lone North American male starter.
Race times are a bit earlier than usual, with the Elite Women at 7 a.m. EDT and the Men at 8:30 EDT. Coverage in the U.S. is available via the NBC Gold app and via FloBikes in Canada.
Full start lists are below.
