The 2024–25 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup was the 32nd edition of UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup. It was a season-long cyclo-cross competition, organized by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), that took place between 24 November 2024 and 26 January 2025.

The defending champions in the Elite category were Eli Iserbyt in the men's competition and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado in the women's competition.

Points distribution

[edit]

Points were awarded to all eligible riders at each race.[2] The points awarded are according to the same scale for all categories, but only the top 25 riders receive points rather than the top 50. The top ten finishers received points according to the following table:

Points awarded
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Elite riders 40 30 25 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
  • Riders finishing in positions 11 to 25 also received points, going down from 15 points for 11th place by one point per place to 1 point for 25th place.
  • Note that the points given here are entirely different from the UCI ranking points, which are distributed according to a different scale and determine starting order in races, but have no impact on World Cup standings.

Race Categories

[edit]

There were races in 5 categories Elite Men, Elite Women, Under-23 Men, Junior Men and Junior Women. There was no separate race for Under-23 Women but the riders in this category took part in the Elite Women race. There were separate classification in all 6 above categories.


Calendar

[edit]

In total there were 11 World Cup events held during the season. Originally there were 12 World Cup events planned but the third round race in Sardinia was cancelled due to the bad weather. [1][3][4][5] All events included Elite Women and Elite Men races, but only 6 of the 11 events included an Under-23 or Junior race.

Compared to the previous editions some changes to the calendar and format of the World Cup were announced by UCI. Most notably, the number of races were reduced from 14 to 12 to allow for a more compact season. Moreover UCI assigned protected event status to some of the events which meant that UCI would not sanction any other international cyclo-cross event the day before or on the day in which a protected event was held.[6][7]

Under-23 Women

[edit]

There was no separate race for Under-23 Women. The riders in this age category competed in the Elite Women race, and received World Cup points based on the standing in the combined Elite/Under-23 race. So for example finishing first among the Under-23 riders but fifth in the combined Elite/Under-23 classification would give not 40 but 20 points.
