About Azencross
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. Azencross is a traditional Loenhout race where speed carries across the open course. The decisive move often comes from a sustained effort rather than one dramatic climb.

Azencross is a traditional Loenhout race where speed carries across the open course. The decisive move often comes from a sustained effort rather than one dramatic climb.
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.
