Swedish Riders Gain Ground on the International CX Scene

Swedish cyclocross riders continue to build valuable experience on the international stage, taking on world-class competition in some of the sport’s toughest environments—especially in Belgium, where cyclocross tradition and intensity set the standard.

Union captain David Eriksson highlighted how important these races are for long-term development. Competing against the global elite may not always translate immediately into results, but the experience gained is crucial. Standout performances included Vilmer Ekman finishing inside the top 20 at elite level and junior Greta Andersson placing seventh in Zonhoven.

With riders represented across elite, U23, and junior categories, these international starts reflect the steady progress of Swedish cyclocross. At CCN Sport, stories like these matter—because growth, exposure, and experience are what shape the next generation of competitive cycling.
