the unofficial Cyclo-Cross Races thread

Having watched all the races this weekend, I do feel that the course seemed a gravelly. It made for high speed, interval racing. 

It did have a lot of climbing in it but with only one run section. For a purpose built course they could have added a bit more variety.

There is a also a bit of difference between North American and Euro CX circuits, the former tends to be in parks, drier, faster with long sweeping sections.

Tough crowd. Rainbow stripes not enough. 

I'll come back after the Classics and again after the Giro.

Sorry ou's (JayCee and Oldron) but  it takes time to develop that kind of status to me. ... We'll see, like I said I'm happy to be the outlier in this case 😈

Legendary status is earned over many seasons of relative consistency (longevity) and dealing well with adversity and setbacks over time (perseverance)

Like Marianne Vos.

According to my riding companion this morning TP is a northerner from Leeds so another reason not to be a fan 😜

Spent a fair bit of time there. Yorkshire 'ard, tea, and just down the road from York.

Close to the Dales and just far enough away from Manchester.

The North is not for sissies. Winter is always coming

I didn’t know the UCI had a sense of humour.

Who watched yesterday’s race at Gavere? Some good racing for the minor placings, and the #podiumselfie afterwards.
