I think when Wout returns, we'll have the muddy courses that suit him, and I'm not sure Thibault is at his best in those conditions. But we'll see.....
Was it just i wasn't paying enough attention but it looked like there were more slips/falls in the men's race than I remembered in the women's, which all seemed due to ice
it if wasn't already obvious, no more cross for pidcock for the foreseeable. says he found it the most hardest discipline, as least naturally gifted, and the most difficult to get up for...winter, living away for christmas etc.
Will probably do more gravel in the off season as he did with the burn in SA, and mountain bike worlds next year.
