In Episode 11 of Season 4 Neil and Matt say farewell to a season that almost didn't happen for the elite riders and fizzled out for the grass roots scene. However, they agree that despite the disruption, the pro and televised racing has been excellent entertainment, and the season-long narrative the most intriguing for years across all series.
They talk through the emotionally charged end of the Superprestige series from Middelkirke where Aerts won the elite men's series despite Sweeck taking the race win under the closest scrutiny from the team, and Brand did what she needed to complete the series despite Betsema taking the win. They are delighted to see the snow for the final two rounds of the X20 series where every second really did count for the elite women's competition with the whole series being won by just 5 seconds by Brand after a committed two races seeing her dig deep, but meaning that she won every competition of the year.
Neil is also delighted to have new namesake in Niels Vanderputte, who took the Brussels podium after a skills showcase on the snow and ice.
And in the Laatste Ronde they look forward to the 2021-2022 world cup with a rammed season of dates including a Stateside block and some back-to-back events in Europe.
