The Crosscast - S4E06 Christmas update
In Episode 6 of Season 4 Matt and Neil give a brief update and review of the recent series of cyclocross races on the continent, a series that has had ace race after ace race.
They talk about the fabulous racing at Namur, who was riding like a machine at robotland, and the heeby jeeby drops at Herentals.
And of course they mark a key result where van Aert won ahead of van der Poel for the first time since the Valkenburg world champs in Feb 2018.
Looking forwards they give as much info as there is (not a lot) about the upcoming World Cup in Dendermonde, and note that logistical difficulties could mean a depleted British squad.
