On the first day of the 2023 Cyclocross World Championships in Hoogerheide, the home team took home the stripes in convincing fashion. Conditions were relatively dry for the opening day.
The relay event is in its second year, with the UCI following the lead of the USA Cycling National Championships, and perhaps the much-earlier season finale relays of Rockville Cyclocross.
Ryan Kamp, last of the six-racer team, crossed the line 31 seconds ahead of the British anchor Thomas Mein. Belgium finished in third.
Italy, last year’s champions, finished off the podium but looked strong early in the race.
