    The King of Cyclocross returns in Silver. Here is the complete, part-by-part breakdown of Mathieu van der Poel’s 2025/26 race machine.

    For the 2025/26 cyclocross season, the World Champion has debuted a stunning new Metallic Silver livery. While the paint is fresh, the mechanics underneath remain the most dominant setup in the history of the sport.

    Mathieu Van Der Poel Vs Wout Van Aert. The titans are back in the mud, but they are returning to a kingdom that has a new ruler.

    While Mathieu Van Der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Wout Van Aert (Visma | Lease a Bike) have been resting, the 2025/26 season has been dominated by one man: Thibau Nys. (Also racing Road UCI WorldTour with Lidl-Trek 2026)

    The young Belgian, and current UCI World Number 1, has ruthlessly capitalized on their absence, racking up wins and an insurmountable points lead. Now, the “Big Two” return with different agendas. MVDP is hunting a record-breaking Rainbow Jersey in Hulst. Wout is on a short, sharp “hit-and-run” campaign. And Nys? He is fighting to prove he can hold the throne when the true Kings are in town.

    With only 5 confirmed showdowns between the trio, every race matters. Here is the complete schedule and the tool you need to stream the battles for free.
