About Koppenbergcross
An X²O Badkamers Trofee round is a Belgian cyclocross classic raced within a season-long time classification, where small gains carry from one venue to the next. The Koppenbergcross is defined by the cobbled climb and its steep, rough approach. Positioning before the ascent and the ability to remount cleanly shape the race.
An X²O Badkamers Trofee round is a Belgian cyclocross classic raced within a season-long time classification, where small gains carry from one venue to the next.
The Koppenbergcross is defined by the cobbled climb and its steep, rough approach. Positioning before the ascent and the ability to remount cleanly shape the race.
The Trofee’s time-based format gives Belgium’s established venues a different rhythm from a simple one-day points race.
The overall classification rewards aggression and clean execution. A short gap, a costly crash or one difficult sector can shape both the day and the broader series.
