Watching it, right now.

wow Laurens Sweeck won the U23 race, for his first cross in that category?

 

[Echoes]

Albert's response to De Vlaeminck.

 

[Echoes]

US races were good prep for Wellens, he seems very fit.

 

[Echoes]

New attack by Albert. Amazing how much power this guy has in the tank.

2 laps to go.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

not a bad race.

Pauwels made a mistake in the last lap and Nys could not avoid it otherwise Nys could podium.

Simunek out due to broken chain.

 

[Echoes]

not a bad race.

Yup I enjoyed it, too. But I'm looking forward to the muddier winter crosses.

Huh? No he didn't. Van der Haar took it.

 

[Echoes]

You wouldn't have quoted me if a Belgian won, would you?


I posted during the coverage. Since then I've seen the full results, just like you.


Anyway, Sweeck is 5th and that's already a great performance. The guy is barely 17 !! (12/17/1993). A full year younger than the youngest U23. He should still be a junior normally.

Also glad Jouffroy is doing well.

The odds for a Belgian to win a cyclocross race are almost 100%. You should be happy some foreigners still occasionally watch some 'cross.

Barely 17? He's almost 18... I think most "new" espoirs are from '93?

 

[Echoes]

You sure don't know me very well then. Usually I'd root for a non-Low Countries rider in a cyclocross (exception for Pauwels and van der Haar) and I was fed up with the Belgian dominance of the early 21st century. Back then, I'd always root for Franzoi.


Who else turned U23 at age 18?

Junior = U19, right? So an 18 year old rider should be junior. Van der Haar turned U23 at age 19.

Untrue, you are a junior from the year you turn 17 and that for 2 seasons ... So you can be junior at 16 and U23 at 18

Damnit I always miss cross races. Going to make a calendar thread if that's ok with you guys.

 

[Echoes]

Huh Mick, Sweeck is 17 at the moment. He will turn 18 in December.

Hence, he's advanced for his age (so is his twin bro, by the way). That's what I said.

Why? Cyclocross is a Flemish sport. We're aware of that and still enjoy it every bit as much- it's part of our identity.

Every Sunday usually, sometimes Saturday

It's not that hard to remember!
