Compare now to the world cup pre 2020 reform. The number of races has gone from 9 to 12, but all growth has gone to Belgian races. The number of non Dutch/Belgian WC has been increased from 3 to 4, but there are no North American WC anymore. Number of Belgian/Dutch rounds has increased from 3 to 7

With Koksijde taking the final spot of the World Cup calendar, the schedule violates UCI regulations. No more than 50% of World Cup races should take place in 1 country, but still 7/12 World Cups will take place in Belgium.

BC: "The youth categories have become more international in recent years, but as soon as foreign riders join a team they leave CX."
The lack of top tier talents isnt a problem for Belgium, because a cyclocross career is only feasible for Belgians. Harsh reality of the current state of cyclocross.
