It's the last cyclocross race of 2012 - and it's not just muddy, but raced in the dark!
Here's what GS had to say in her calendar:
This is one just for the Americans - with a start time two and a half hours later than normally. You're welcome guys. Diegem is special mostly because it's raced in the dark, under floodlights. That's the major obstacle, darkness. As for the course itself, it's pretty straightforward: forest, sand, gravel, hills, beams, grass... a little bit of everything, and all that in the dark.
It's a Superprestige race, so Vier.be are obligingly streaming it for us here
Here's the current SuperPrestige standings, with 3 races left, including this one:
1 | Sven Nys | 74 |
