The Exact Cross is a relatively recent addition to the major series in professional cyclo-cross, but it has a history of different sponsors and names.
Here is an overview of its history:
- Original Name: Brico Cross
- The series began under the name Brico Cross (sponsored by the Belgian hardware chain Brico) for its first three seasons. The first season of the series was likely the 2016-2017 season.
- Second Name: Ethias Cross
- From the 2019-2020 season until the 2021-2022 season, the series was known as the Ethias Cross, named after the Belgian insurance company Ethias.
- Current Name: Exact Cross
- The series rebranded to its current name, Exact Cross, for the 2022-2023 season, sponsored by the enterprise software provider Exact.
Key Characteristics of the Exact Cross Series:
- Format: It is a season-long competition consisting of several rounds (typically around 7-8 races) held mainly in Belgium and the Netherlands.
- Ranking: Unlike the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, Superprestige, and X²O Badkamers Trophy, the Exact Cross series generally does not award points or compose an overall series ranking. Instead, it consists of separate, prestigious individual races.
- Status: It is considered one of the five major season-long cyclo-cross competitions, alongside the UCI World Cup, Superprestige, the X²O Badkamers Trophy, and the HSF System Cup.
