Pascual Momparlerhead Momparler Bicyclecompany organizing the event UCI Cyclocross World Cup – Benidorm Costa Blanca Remember that Van der Poel, Van Aert and Pidcock “are cyclists who need no introduction”. They are world champions, Olympic champions and have medals in all disciplines. They are idols that bind many fans to this sport. For me as an organizer, this is incredible; for the audience too. If there’s one thing about cyclocross, it’s that you get to see the cyclists passing by up close, over and over again. This will be the last duel of the campaign because not everyone goes to the World Cup but still comes to Benidorm. It’s a unique opportunity that we don’t know when it will happen again.
