Watching SP Gieten right now.

Start of Lap 8. MVDP is 30 seconds up on Wout.

....and 1:28 up on LVDH and the third place group.

Women's elite cross on the other hand is incredible. Their race was fantastic.

Someone offer MVDP too much money to get outta cross entirely when Wout exits next year.

I wanna see Dan Sooooetteee win a race.

well, it was here: http://www.cyclingfans.com/superpres...yclocross/live

You need an IP Blocker to watch it effectively.

I paid for a two or three year sub to IPVanish and then bought Eurosport Player for a year, and then I can also watch stuff like RTV/RTF, et al.

Today's men's race at Gieten was like watching VDP and WVA do a CX TT. But for the women's, finally Worst is first! I'd like to see Elle Anderson get on the podium sometime this season.

Soete won yesterday at Lokeren. I missed it though.

well if you’re annoyed now, you’ll really be annoyed when you see what MVdP did to his ankle the day before this race: https://sporza.be/nl/2018/10/13/zwar...at-cross-met0/

Gieten is 100% MVdP’s type of course. he’s had a stellar year. obviously the ankle wasn’t as bad as suspected. and the crazy part is I think he’s not at 100% yet (condition wise, before the injury). before last weekend (won both races) he said he’d only trained for CX three or four times this year...

that said, you’re absolutely right that the women’s racing in general is more exciting. the men’s races were both close last weekend. this weekend, one was kinda chaotic, the other went to script. Ronse last weekend, women’s race was more boring than men’s. the season’s still young...
