With a strong form and outstanding results especially in the first races, Laurens laid the foundation for his first overall World Cup victory early on last season.

The other members of the men's elite team have also already been able to shine with speed and success. Like the U23 World Champion of 2022, Joran Wyseure (BEL) or the U23 overall World Cup winner 2021/2022, Mees Hendrickx (BEL). The Belgian U23 champion of 2023, Witse Meeussen and his compatriot Toon Vandebosch (Elite) round off the team.

In the U23 team, the reigning U23 European champion Emiel Verstrynge (BEL) and the U19 European champion (2021) and U19 runner-up (2022) Aaron Dockx (BEL) will start in the new season.

The women's elite team is led by 3-time world champion Sanne Cant. She has been riding STEVENS bikes since 2009 and has already claimed three world titles (2017, 2018 and 2019). The reigning Belgian champion has also won a record-breaking 14 national titles in a row. Together with Sanne, Marion Norbert Riberolle (BEL) and the two Dutch women Manon Bakker and Inge van der Heijden will compete in the 2023/24 season.

New addition to the U23 women's team is Belgian Xaydée van Sinaey, who has already shone with top-3 finishes in UCI World Cup races and a bronze medal at last year's European Championships.

Team Crelan-Corendon is also relying on the STEVENS Super Prestige in the new season. With its lightweight frame trimmed for ideal stiffness, the high-tech carbon bike offers the ideal conditions for many more top placings.

The World Cup kicks off on 15 October on the demanding course in Waterloo, USA.

STEVENS is looking forward to the 2023/24 international cross season and wishes Team Crelan-Corendon and the riders every success.
