2024 UCI Cyclo - Cross World Championships with Sportive Breaks and Kalas
Sportive Breaks have teamed up with Kalas to take you on the ultimate cyclo-cross experience. Tabor, Czech Republic will host the 2024 UCI Cyclo – Cross World Championships at the beginning of February. Our package includes VIP hospitality, giving you access to the best view of the finishing straight, along with complimentary food, drinks and a designated seat! You also have the freedom to roam the entire course, seeing specific sections of the race, checking out the entertainment and soaking up the atmosphere in general. You’ll also get to see the riders up close while they are preparing for the race.
The 2023 women’s elite race saw an all Dutch podium with Fem Van Empel taking the win followed by her rival Puck Pieterse in second and after winning in 2021 it was third for Lucinda Brand. The Elite men’s race in 2023 was a sell-out, with Mathieu Van Der Poel and Wout Van Aert in attendance. It was an epic battle between the two rivals, culminating in a two-up sprint. Van Der Poel out-sprinted Van Aert with a huge burst after the final corner to take the rainbow jersey.
Sportive Breaks are thrilled to partner with Kalas to bring you this unique opportunity. Kalas is one of the leading manufacturers of both cycling kit and custom cycling kit. Worn by the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and his Alpecin-Deceuninck team, along with the Great Britain cycling team, you couldn’t ask for better brand ambassadors! Whilst being a big player in cycling apparel, Kalas is still a family owned and run business, operating out of Tabor, Cech Republic. By joining us on this trip, we’ll take you on an exclusive tour of the factory where it all happens; just a stone’s throw from the racing itself.

The last time the Cyclo-cross World Championships were held in Tabor was in 2015 when Pauline Ferrand Prevot stormed to victory in the Elite Women ahead of Sanne Cant and Mariana Vos. The Elite Men’s race this year was won by Mathieu van der Poel in his first shot at this title – on the youngest ever Elite Men’s Cyclo-cross World Championship podium. Wout van Aert and Lars van der Haar joined him on the podium.
In 2023 in Hoogerheid it was the same order for these two legendary greats of cyclocross with van der Poel again claiming the rainbow jersey ahead of van Aert in a tight sprint finish. Van der Haar this time just missing out on the podium in 4th place, as Belgian Eli Iserbyt took the bronze medal. On home soil in 2023, it was a Dutch podium lockout in the Elite Women as Fem van Empel took an emphatic victory ahead of Puck Pieterse and Lucinda Brand.

2024 will be the fourth time that Tabor has hosted the Cyclo-cross World Championships, in the Komora Sports Complex, which first played host to this event in 2001.
