Cyclocross - CX and SSCX races and training

I fully expect the red bull commentary to be far better than bbc though

Especially if it involves Hugh Porter saying "Imperious" every 5 minutes

or even better if they co-opt in ant mcrossen and he can get everything wrong and just talk about wva's crash at the tour for an hour

@Chalfie"FUCK OFF DAMO"

They are lorica, definitely not leather.

so just what? leave em?

just give em a scrub if they are dirty

done this afternoon boss.

newspaper inside now

small children in the park.

jumpers for course makers

"catch him!"

enduring image.

It should be Rob Hatch and Helen Wyman commentating on the Red Bull stream tomorrow. Definitely the one to watch

The Beeb don’t have the rights for either the men’s or women’s elite races.

Looks like I was wrong. Sort of. The elites races are available to watch online, but will not be on the red button.

As @Sumo has already said, the Elite races will be live on redbull.tv, with commentary from Rob Hatch and Helen Wyman.

oh god, it's ant mcrossen

he's so so dreadful i'd rather listen to the belgian commentary I wouldn't understand

I've just tuned in. Evie Richards is currently in 6th. Is this her first year in elite?

Superb women's race

I was jumping up and down on the couch, could have been Worst or CDCA and even Brand if she hadn't broken her seatpost. Very deserved win for Alvarado!

Hmmm, I'm due to be in Basel tomorrow. A trip to Dubdendorf could fall under the 'it'd be rude not to' rule.

Brand if she hadn't broken her seatpost

Didn't see that. Happened to Ben Tulett in the u23 race too.

That last lap was super tense, even on what was up to that point a pretty dull course...

Ah. So that’s what happened. Now makes sense why they waited for her. Fair play.

Yes, it is.

Rain over night apparently. Which will probably make an already heavy course, even heavier.

And imagine being Mathieu Van Der Poel; if you don't win today, in a season where you've won 23 of the 24 races you've started, then your season is considered a failure.

he'll be fine

He'd better be. I'm wearing my Rapha Dutch National Jersey in his honour. Much orange. So stripey flag.

Envious. I have seen him race three times. Amazing first hand what he can do on a bike. Let's hope there's some competition tho
