Lucinda Brand has a broken nose, but will still race the Dutch nationals this week. Without sunglasses.

Ouch. Still that’s one achievement. Probably one of the few parts I have never hurt in a crash

She really face planted hard, didn't look too bad in real time, but in slo-mo it was quite the impact. Good that she will not miss much.

My Disco + seems to be listing only the French Nationals this weekend. (although certainly not the easiest thing to navigate).
The UK champs elite races are live on the BBC website, plus all classes are on the British Cycling YouTube channel.

Dutch champs are also being shown on Discovery Plus.

Many thanks, it's not on my tv guide, guess it will pop up eventually. Just on more thing that annoys me with Discoverery

If you weren't already confused by the amount of different Roodhooft teams and sponsorships, Ryan Kamp will from now on be riding for Fenix.

Nice to see he has found a good team!

 

[JR1012]

Backstedt and Vas won't defend their national titles at the weekend.

The NC should change place in the calendar. Why not hold them in the end of november and then the new CX champions could show their jerseys during the biggest period of the season, the christmas period?

Yeah, would make the most sense; halfway through the season, like in XCO......

All nats should be on Canada nats weekend! (Although Canadian nationals do move around a bit on the calendar - a late November firm date takes a bunch of locations out of the running for hosting.)

Good battle between Oscar Amey & Grindley in the UK men's Juniors....Amey the 1st year rider eventually winning. I know the commentators were talking them up, but at the moment I can't see either troubling the Bel/Ned riders in years to come.

 

[Wyndbrook]

UK junior women next, should an easy win for Ferguson, Wolff is riding in the seniors.
I would expect Kay to win with McLean Howell, Couzens, Wolff and Brammier competing for second.
Senior men, assume same as last year with Mason winning, probably from Mein.
U23's race with seniors.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Ferguson looks to be the class of the field, and tends to be favoured by faster courses; on the more technical courses, she hasn't been as impressive, where Gery has beaten her, and Wolff has got closer to her.

 

[theyoungest]

Of course the British cyclocross championships are held at Downton Abbey

 

[DNP-Old]

Very hard to look past Arthur Van Den Boer to take the Belgian junior title in the next hour. Kid has been great, despite being a first year.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Another poor start from Cam - playing catch up again...

He caught and dropped Mein for good in the space of a lap. Seemed like he enjoyed winning in front of his home crowd too.

Belgian championships course is perfect for Cant... two tiny sand passages aren't enough for Verdonschot.

Giving it her best Schot!

 

[theyoungest]

Giving it her best Schot!

She certainly did. But she definitely got a bit unlucky with the course today.

 

[Pantani_lives]

Good decision from Cant to end on a high note with a fifteenth title - probably her closest and most emotional one.

Meanwhile a lot of big names are staying away from a championship they could have won. MvdP doesn't seem to care about Stamsnijder's record.

Dutch national titles:
9x Stamsnijder
8x Groenendaal
6x A. Van der Poel
6x Boom
6x M. Van der Poel
5x Harings
4x Van der Haar

[Davesta]

Very happy to see Anna Kay pick up the British title yesterday!
She’s been the most consistent and visible British rider over the last 4 seasons (at least until Backsteadt this year), and is technically brilliant, but has always come up against a mudfest of a nat champs course where she doesn’t have the raw power of some others and her technical skills have been redundant…will be great to see her in the stripes for the next year
