Watching the fourth best cx'er dominating is dull. We want to see the best guys and they aren't here yet, so everyone knows he's just cleaning up whilst he can.

the fourth best cx'er
TBH, "the big three" cannot be considered real cx'er anymore in my opinion, impressively strong and riveting to watch, but they don't care about any of the cups or trophies, just the rainbow stripes. WVA won the world cup by chance rather than by design last year. Fair to them obviously, with so much they try to pack in the season, but their disregard of the overall competition makes me appreciate riders like Iserbyt and Vanthourenhout more, although I really root for Hermans to do good this season. Aerts is likeable and strong, but seems to lack that aggressive edge when it matters

big iserbyt fan over here, but i think i might be the only one. I think a combination of domination (when the big three arent there), a tendency to chase down team mates, pawels sauses still standing by Denise Betsema and some race tactics might make him not a fan favourite.
