Cyclo-Cross Event Reviews

- good organisation

- there should have been an official program book to keep as cycling memorabilia / collector's item in the future instead of spreading thousands of brochures to join the Belgian army and the Belgian police and magazines of Floréal recreation

- asking 5€/day for a parking lot "nearby" the venue is not acceptable, people already paid a lot for their entrance ticket, there should have been free shuttle buses instead

- food and drinks (and the cup to be able to drink) were also too expensive... as usual

What a great event in a beautiful setting great facilities parking great location and great range of food and drinks. Especially Having Real Belgian fries serving there delicious Fries and snacks.

Excellent day out, fantastic course and exciting racing! Only negative point was that the commentary could only be heard in the main central area - would have been great to hear it on the start line and on outlying parts of the course. Otherwise it was brilliant!

As a sport event it deserves a 10 star, but as you are ask about the whole event, I regret the fact that the amenities for food was a bit on the shorthand considering the amount of people that attended the event, and as a result the queues and waiting time where long.

The racing was great, but the amenities could be better

Great experience only downside no programme of the event souvenirs of the event

Super georganiseerd. Alles top . Mooie dag in Gavere

De organisatie was nieuw. Voor mensen die al 20jaar nr daar komen was het een ramp.

De inkom aan de hoofdingang trok op niks. Mensen op elkaar gepropt. Straat afsluiten en 10rijen maken met scanners. Om aan je drank te geraken rampzalig. Vroeger meer kraampjes en sneller. De feesttent ook veel te klein. Die was vroeger 3x zo groot.

De VIP de hadden plaats over. Was weer niet goed verdeeld.

Organisatie een flop. Gelukkig nog een mooie cross gezien.

Fantastic, great day out, many thanks.

I've already given a review about how good the event was - it was superb. But I have to add a few points which could be improved upon. Firstly, even the Tourist Office did not know the event was taking place! But when I told them where it was, they advised the correct bus to take. Could booked transport to the event, from Dublin, be considered? Secondly, there were no souvenir stands, which was disappointing. Thirdly, there should have been four or five catering stands, not just one, which led to long queues. But I'd come again without doubt!

When we arrived at the Sport Ireland Campus, I was impressed with the whole operation. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The actual events were smoothly run and the competitors were the best in the world. My wife and I travelled from Worcester to see this event and we were not disappointed. If the event is organised again, we will definitely come.

I'm been to a number of UCI events and for Dublin:

- Needed more food outlets as queues were horrific

- Beer license approved in advance to have full event experience similar to Holland/Belgium events

- Would have been good to have an exhibition area for sponsors/demonstrations

- An detailed electronic map of the circuit to help spectators pick the best spots on the circuit

My first time at UCI cyclo-cross world cup event, also Ireland's first time hosting a round. It was brilliant, thanks to a severe cold snap. We had frost , snow then a bit of a thaw so ankle deep mud, glorious mud. The racing was fantastic. My only criticism is there were not enough food venders. I realise that you may have been caught out by the severe cold snap, but Dublin in December. There's always going to be a great demand for hot drinks and hot food. I took my lunch early (before the elite women) I could see how the queues were going, I still queued for more than 30mins. Glad i did as after the women's elite race the queues were more than twice as long.

Also a minor one your sign posting was great, TV, press, teams VIPS just not spectators funny watching people wandering about aimlessly not sure where to go.🤣🤣🤣

Well organised and a great race. Only thing missing was a beer tent and maybe a few more food outlets .

Well organised, great atmosphere and superb racing. Only downside was lack of hot food suppliers at event.

Amazing course and race. Brilliant atmosphere. Poor choice of food and drink for such a large event and definitely not enough food outlets

Great event and atmosphere

The racing was fabulous the food stores limited and long queues not great. I would have liked some memorabilia.

Excellent day! Great atmosphere, various good places to watch and enjoyed being able to walk around the pits.

Amazing
