Top Cross Teams

Leading Cyclo-Cross Teams for 2007-8

If you make it to any of the top European events this winter it is clear that cyclo-cross is very competitive and that the top teams are slick, well-equipped operations.

Dominating the men’s events, through numbers at least, is the Fidea Cycling Team squad. It is not worth duplicating what can be found on the excellent web site. Even though they don’t provide an English version it should be possible to buy things from the team shop or order some free fan cards [Note that UK is Verenigd Koninkrijk if you have to enter your address on the site]

Fidea are fighting out the top places in the main competitions with both the Sunweb team and Rabobank’s off-road squad; with Sven Nys often making it hard work for all the others this season.

The Dutch also have a second competitive men’s team in the ZZPR squad but it is their women’s team lead by Daphny van den Brand and backed-up by Reza Hormes Ravesteijn that are taking the limelight so far.
