Belgium at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships

Belgium at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships is an overview of the Belgian results at the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. The only times that cyclo-cross racers appear in proper national selections of one or multiple sportsmen are the yearly UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships. Because of this, all Belgian national cyclo-cross teams (either elite or younger teams) only compete as such during one day per year. Since 2017, Belgium's national manager of the men's elite selection is Sven Vanthourenhout.[1]
