Since Christmas 2003, Geoff Proctor’s Belgium-based EuroCross Camp has been the vehicle for top cyclocross talent in the US to experience and race in Europe during the Christmas week of racing, at the sport’s highest level. For 2010/2011, the EuroCross camp returns with a whopping twenty cyclocross racers, including four Elites, seven U23 racers and nine juniors.
