I imagine MvdP is in no hurry to race CX when he can live and train in warm Spain. Let's face it, he'd be bored to death racing CX against the current crop of racers. No one currently racing has made a step up in form to challenge him and make it fun for him to race. He'll show up around Christmas time because he had to come in to see the family for the holidays and pick up some start money to buy some Christmas gifts.
I don't think there's anybody out there (possibly apart from Wout on a mudfest), and none of the U23s look likely to in the coming years. I was hoping Nys had made a step up, but if he has, it's not enough - he needs to be beating the others by 30secs/ minute. I'm not sure he has the raw power, but is better on less flat courses.
