You can watch Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel in cyclocross action on Monday, with the legendary rivals meeting for the first time this season at the Superprestige in Mol – here’s all the information you need on live streams, TV channels, and how to watch the cyclocross from anywhere.
After Mathieu van der Poel’s cyclocross return at the Zonhoven World Cup on Sunday, it’s now time for the other of cyclocross’ modern greats to enter the fray.
Van Aert, the three-time world champion, had kept quiet about his plans for the cyclocross season but recently announced a solid block of races over the festive period, starting in Mol. The best thing is, Van der Poel is also on the start list, meaning we get the first clash of the season between the two titanic rivals.
In the women’s race, Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, winner of three of the four Superprestige races so far, headlines the field, along with fellow Dutchwoman Lucinda Brand.
The event, also known as the Zilvermeercross, is part of the Superprestige series of races, which sits below the top-tier UCI World Cup series. Many riders will be coming in off the back of a World Cup double header of a weekend, so there’ll be some tired legs, but even so, when Van Aert and Van der Poel are around they’re always the top two favourites.
Read on for all the information you need to watch Superprestige Mol online, on TV, and from anywhere.

What if you’re travelling at the moment and find the feed you’d usually watch geo-restricted? A VPN is a simple solution.
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a piece of software that sets your IP address to appear as if it’s in a different country. Provided it conforms with your broadcaster’s Ts&Cs, you can therefore watch the streaming services you usually enjoy back home, and it also comes with added internet security benefits.
