• Ah cheers. Shame about MVDP, is that the injury he got at the Olympics?

  • apparently not but I'm sure that crash won't have helped.

    For me at least, not having them around for most of the season has actually made the racing better. There's been some great battles this year - Zonhoven for example this year was amazing - and Wout was so utterly dominant it was only interesting for a few races. He won 9 of the 10 races he started (on average by over a minute), and the one he didn't win was due to a mechanical. I am excited to see if he can carry that form into the spring classics but a whole CX season of that would have dragged a bit!

    Lucinda brand has had a similar dominance of the women's field (https://cyclocross24.com/rider/lucinda-brand/) and, for me at least, women's racing hasn't been quite so exciting this year as it was last year. Always nice to see Denise Betsema not winning though I guess.
