The Crosscast S4E08 - Happy 2021!

In Episode 8 of Season 4 Matt and Neil look back over 5 days of New Year racing that contained 4 races, including 4 wins (or was it 5?) for Mathieu Van Der Poel (and David), and career best wins for Vas finishing on the top step twice. They talk about how lessons in sprints and lunges are in order after top positions being decided in the final few cm three times over. At Bredene they applaud the have-a-go attitudes of White and Franck; at Baal they disagree on how similar the conditions were to previous editions and talk, at length, on the old chestnut of appropriate race durations; at Gullegem they enjoyed the fun mini-features and Adams' spirit; at Hulst-not-Hulst they agree that the course was uninspired but what an amazing ride from a flawless Betsema. Two quiz questions to look out for (can you do better than Matt?)... and who was it that gave Vos and Van Aert a Christmas project of respraying a couple of frames in the garage and finishing off with a packet of letraset?#SYOTOSOTTClick to view: show page on AwesoundSupport the show--To support the show pop over to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/crosscast to make a donation towards our hosting fees - every little helps!  You can watch us on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@TheCrosscastCyclocrossFollow us on Insta and Facebook, and share to your networks!  Neil Mansfield @crosscastneil is part of Grity Sustainable Sports Apparel @gritykit, and Matt Payne @mattfixerpayne runs Full Speed Events @full_speed_events.
