About Sinterklaascross
A Telenet Superprestige round is part of one of cyclocross’s defining season-long competitions, rooted in the close, intense racing culture of Belgium and the Netherlands. Ruddervoorde is a traditional Belgian venue where winter moisture can make the course sticky and force riders to balance traction against outright speed.

Superprestige has made a calendar of local races feel like one continuous contest, with each venue contributing its own style.
