Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

The UCI channel showed all the races yesterday, live. They haven't uploaded the recordings yet, but they usually do a day or so later.

I'm terrifyingly unfit, I've not raced cross since 2014, what race/s are on next weekend that I can enter?

London x league team race (you can enter even if you don't have a team)

Today's round of the London X League has been cancelled, due to safety issues with a barbed wire fence.

Spread the word.

Bell lap . Always remember the bell lap .

Agonizing to watch, although he did nearly win the race twice.

Not quite sure how this can happen at such short notice? Folks were already there, or part the way there. I know @blowfish and @Doctor_Cake were in a hire car. Expensive day out, and horrible for the organisers.

Thanks Andyp and SteadyCam. I keep getting the "not in your country" denial message from the UCI recordings. Do I need to be sneaky?

sneaky proxy will do it.

Big shame about the London League race today. Velo Bagarreur have put in loads of effort and this seems entirely avoidable.

It saddens me that the little motors appear to actually get used in competition.

Van den Driessche however claims it was a training friend's bike... But then one would expect the pit crew to take things very seriously at the worlds and not let anyone mess up the stable...

Her rivals are now also questioning the way Van den Driessche performed at the Koppenberg cross earlier this season, climbing a bit too quickly apparently.

anyway let's hope for a fair and exciting men's elite race in about an hour!

After reading Jo Burt's blog article on organising an event, you can certainly sympathise for all that work and effort being for nothing. Thanks @andyp for the link.

Incredible performance from Toupalik, effectively riding two last laps in the U23 mens. How he managed to get back on for that last lap, both mentally and physically, is beyond me.

Good race.

How they decide on seven laps to race just now?

An hour plus one if its 8 mins laps

Woof.
That was quite good.

Lovely slow motion drips of mouth snot from Wout as he walked through there.

Amazing. That last half lap. Fuuu.

Great race.

Oh wow, that's annoying. I dropped 5 places in the league due to that last round being cancelled.

I went up 2. Swings and roundabouts.

Central League at Welwyn was strangely (for the time of year) dry and fast today. Good venue for late season cyclocross. Thankfully I don't have to clean my bike ahead of tomorrow's mudbath in the Team Championships.

Did good today

Who won team champs then?
