Reality tv star wins cyclocross race

Did anything happen with that competition to become a pro cx rider with the Star Casino team? And where are the riders now?

Gran' daddy van der Haar (31! ) is looking better than ever. His ride at Maasmechelen was almost the best I've seen him ride. Solid transitions, jumping barriers, quick running and almost no mistakes. Thought we had seen the best of him but he still has more to give!

In that same race couldn't help to notice that the Trek Baloise riders came in seriously hot on Iserbyt. He was constantly swarmed and must've had a rough time staying focused. He should have credit for not loosing his temper and that he continued grinding and secured a second place behind LvdH.

Complete turn around from two years ago when Pauwels had three riders racing tactically at the front and crowding Lars.

William and Kate don helmets to show off their bike skills in Scotland

The Prince and Princess of Wales rode bikes around a track with obstacles.

Someone whispered that the next race for the couple will be the UCI 2023 MASTERS CYCLO-CROSS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in Hamburg. The Princess of Wales is expected to look spectacular covered in mud.

All the races for the Euro championships have been moved to Sunday. Except for today's mixed relay. This was to be expected, the forecast for tomorrow is another storm. It's not quite clear how they will organize this, but if I had to guess they'll probably combine the women's elite and u23 race, and maybe for the men as well.

Withen not racing after all?
He's not on the startlist according to PCS, and FirstCycling doesn't have a startlist up (yet).

Healthy looking Junior entry.........I'm guessing CX is the least important discipline for Philipsen, and/or has only just started his season.

 

[RedheadDane]

And now for the schedule!

Thanks for posting!

Also Pan-American Championships - which is basically a US/Canadian championship, as nowhere else has hosted it.

It’s going to be nicely muddy in Missoula for those races today and tomorrow. Honsinger and I. Holmgren (and other US & Canadian national team riders) are on the startlist but unfortunately Rochette is not.

If you haven't entered the 2023-24 Cyclocross manager game yet, then you have already missed out on Koppenberg Cross points, but if you act quickly, you could get a team in before the Women's Elite race in the Euro's starts, and be eligible for points from that.

Sparfel is the new world champion of Europe.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

Two wins for the French so far, lots of promising juniors coming through - but we know what usually happens; they disappear.......

 

[RedheadDane]

Commentator: Watch the lights!

Err... what lights?

 

[Axel Hangleck]

3 of the top 5 already on World Tour teams....Bentveld, Zemanova as yet are not.....

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Gery drew first blood in the battle with Ferguson among the juniors.

Schreiber has now started to lose a lot of time to Bäckstedt, which was of course expected.
The fight for bronze is still on between Zemanová and Bentveld.

 

[RedheadDane]

Congratulations to ZJoe Bäckstedt for her title.

 

[DNP-Old]

Rain, lots of rain.

 

[DNP-Old]

Haverdings already out of it.
