Pieter Henning Posted July 29, 2008 Share Basso sprinted Boonen once or twice in the crits as well when I was in Holland. Great entertainment and you get to see the riders up close and personal, plus they earn some good prize (appearance) money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willehond Posted August 2, 2008 Share Went to a Dutch crit yesterday and it was loads of fun. Who cares who wins? You get to see the guys ride past you every two minutes, you get to drink good bear, eat frites and sample an incredible cycling experience. Plus, they go really, really fast!!!For the record Cavendish won and Schleck took the money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
