We’ve got the full start list for the U23 (Espoir) men for the 2012 UCI Koksijde Cyclocross World Championships. 57 racers from 18 countries will line up for the race, including two Americans in Zach McDonald and Cody Kaiser. Lars van der Haar, the defending champ from the 2011 World Championships in Saint Wendel, is the odds-on favorite, but his teammate and 2011 silver medalist Mike Teunissen returns to compete for another U23 medal, as does 2011 bronze medalist Karel Hnik (Czech Republic). Will it be the same top three this year in Koksijde? Also see our preview of the U23 Men’s race here.
