Last season's protracted thumping has me wondering how long Wout will line up for a full season of cyclocross.

Yeah--certainly best in the end.

You're right--he may well have been doing something different with those races in mind. Didn't he take a break for a special kind of double-down training camp at some point last season? Maybe there was something to that.
