Rochester Cyclocross Executive Director Scott Page added, "the value that this media partnership brings for both the series and US cyclocross is exceptional – having a true world stage for the elite athletes is tremendous."

"I cannot wait for the season to start in Rochester," said Canada's Maghalie Rochette, winner of the 2019 World Cup in Iowa City. "This is going to be a huge season for cyclocross in North America with USCX Series, three World Cups, and the World Championships. The USCX Series will be great for the growth of cyclocross. The series is not just for professional riders — all cyclocross amateurs in the USA will have a series to chase. I feel like the CX Fever will be strong this year, and the fact that the USCX Series will be televised is probably the biggest step we could take to bring North American cyclocross to a whole new level. Plus, the fact that the races will be televised live in Europe, the birthplace of cyclocross, is huge."
