The 2022 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, opened today with a Team Relay test event on Friday. No medals or jerseys were an offer; just a trophy, flowers and chance for the UCI to gauge the rider and fan interest in a team relay event at the cyclo-cross Worlds.

“That was a lot of fun!” said American, and hopeful for Saturday’s elite women's race, Clara Honsinger after the line.
