Ahead of the UCI World Cyclo-cross Championships this weekend, Helen Wyman has shared her power data from the Heusden-Zolder course in Belgium, which was also used for Round five of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup. The data has been overlayed onto on-bike footage of a lap of the course in order to give an idea of the demands of the 3.2km circuit.
Wyman’s numbers are taken from her second lap in the World Cup race on Boxing Day, where she finished 12th. Sanne Cant took the win in the women's race while Mathieu Van der Poel triumphed in the men's event.
The head-cam footage is provided by Yu Takenouki, who rode the course during an open practice session. Stages, the power meter manufacturer used by Wyman, have produced two videos, the first pairing Wyman's data with key parts of the course, and the second (at the bottom of this article) showing a lap in its entirety, with no overlay.
