Why is the bicycle Cyclocross/CX competition always in winter? This related to the origins of road bicycle Cyclocross/CX. Cyclocross/CX originated in France and is a sport that some road riders maintain in the race in winter.

When this sport was independent, it continues the tradition of playing in autumn and winter.

On the other hand, although most riders currently specialize in one CX event, there are many high-level athletes across multiple events. The traditionally more international road bike season is set in summer, which will cause a large number of athletes to move to the road bike project with higher attention. In order to maintain the significance of the traditional road Cyclocross/CX competition, avoid riders trying to participate in a short time for a variety of competitions disrupt the team's arrangements and their status, and avoid collisions with road races, so road cyclocross races are always held in winter.

According to the Olympic Charter of the International Olympic Committee, road cyclocross can be carried out in winter. But it is not a winter project.
