Snow, ice and particularly wintry weather conditions are threatening to disrupt cyclo-cross National Championships in northern Europe this weekend, with schedule changes and additional course checks expected, particularly in the heartlands of Belgium and the Netherlands.
Cyclo-cross is a sport designed to be raced in cold, bleak winters, so riders are no strangers to battling unpleasant conditions, but with snowfall bad enough to disrupt flights in and out of Amsterdam's Schipol airport for several days now, the weather could be bad enough to affect this weekend's Nationals.
