Live Cyclocross in Hoogstraten Over (Dutch time)
See title. All the big names are ready for their next battle. Can Albert throw Nys from his crown or will Nys sit there for a little longer?
It's rumoured Franzoi! will race here. Also Mourey, other roadcyclist will race.
Ed: That's 45 minutes from now
Have/Good fun

Hola cross fans!
Seriously Frinkster, Franzoi has NO chance ;-))
"If I were World Road Race Champion, I would wear black shorts. That probably has more to do with me being on the wiser side of 30 and understanding better that the decisions I make now never really go away. White shorts would not be something I'd be proud of...." - David Millar, in Rouleur.
Haha he did pretty good in the last race!
He was in the elite group and finished top 5. I think
What do you fear most?
1. coup d’etat

Yeah I noticed...I always notice what he does now ;-)

Haha I also do!

Better than last week...though that wouldn't be hard!

Albert Saying it's super fast and super dificult.
It’s hard to show you are the best. He thinks everybody stick together till the end.
Vantornhout(?) Says it’s a good parcours for hum. Only classification he has a shot
Wellens(?) Say it’s 10 riders who stick together. Hopes he can stick in
Nys has a lot of confidence. Other parkoers other conditions but there a lot of favorites. But if somebody has a gap who’s going to ride?
Stybar: Everebody expect you. He: A lot of training I did. I have to see how I recuparated.

Thanks for the translations!

Somehow, the things Albert says don't always sound very honest
Exaggerated, I mean. Super fast AND super difficult? Hmm.
Why does Albert always wear his helmet so far back on his head?!

Yes indeed. Just like last week. Grr.

Same here
I’ve wanted to try for over a year… Maybe I’ll take my MTB out to one (and get beat so so bad)

I'm thinking of getting a cross bike...but just for fun....I'd be embarrassing if I tried to race it :-/

I live on the edge of London so on the edge of the country. There are some country parks with rough tracks whre you can cycle.

Not that cross racing in Southern California is at all like Europe
but I’ve done a few races. Even had a CX bike until someone decided to steal it. It is a blast!
Stolen?! Bummer!

Planning on trying that myself this winter.

Remember, when you jump back on, you are landing on the inside of your thigh
not somewhere else.
Right (and thanks!)
I’ve practiced that before. A good cross mount gets you a 5sec gap in a mountain bike race
by Douglas Ansel on Nov 1, 2009 10:22 AM EST up reply actions
By the end, at least for us Cat 4's, you are just dragging your bike over the barrier
and just praying for it to be over!
What a strange sport..
5secs is like an eternity!
Ooh and please don’t bring up bobsleighing

Good race.
Much thanks for the hook-up Frinking.
Now if I can find some Manchester my bike race jones will be put to rest.
You're welcome.

World cup track from Manchester on the www.
This race was unexpected and all the more enjoyable for that reason alone.
