Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

Disagree, it was tense throughout with both of them throwing attacks and responding. Lars threatened to come back to them too at one point. What more can you want than a tense final lap with a sprint finish?

Mud?

Rep

Anyone else spot this at the start? Brutal

Awesome and grim in equal parts.

Just thinking LVDH might have had the unluckiest of careers. How he hasn’t won 3/4 worlds is a crime.

CX is more than just mud. Mud rarely makes for exciting races and that was wicked.

Yeah, but didn't believe it had just happened

My partner spotted that and had to leave the room in case there was a replay

Thank you for explaining this to me

Caught that. Gruesome. Wonder whether he finished.

A good article on the drone operators.

He was 33rd, although was pulled due to the 80% rule.

SE Team Champs yesterday was interesting for a rider who is shit at cornerning. Excellent organisation as always, though. Would do again (after several CX sessions down at HHV).

It was fantastic! I'd love a league race to be held there using a full sized course. So rare to race on sand though the wet high speed tarmac corners scared me more....

Yes it was a good opportunity to practice turning right...

Kinda missing racing right now.

Why is it when season is on I generally can’t be arsed with training and bike set up etc. minute it’s over it’s all I enjoy?

Something to aim for

I'm just looking forward to summer cross, hoping it's back in the same format as last year!

Meh the motivation is gone and having saddle issues.

.

HHV Summercross entries are online now!

Do you need a license for this?

looks like it. I've just emailed the organisers to check so will report back

Will you not just have to have BC membership at a certain level or pay a small (£3) fee for the insurance cover on top of the entry fee?

Never been to a CX race that needs a license

I always raced with a full licence before, but it's been a few years and I'll avoid giving BC my money if possible
