The Crosscast S5E07 - Masters World Champs and the return of Wout van Pidcock

In Episode 7 of Season 5, Neil and Matt look back on the Cyclocross World Masters Championships that came from Ipswich.  Not only do they give a run down of how the event panned out, but they also attempt to give a synopsis of every race category and key moments that decided who gets to wear the rainbow stripes for the next year.They also look back on a very wet Boom that saw impressive returns from Turner, Pidcock in his magic skinsuit, and of course Wout van Aert who was in a class of his own.  In the Laatste Ronde, they look forward to a bumper couple of weeks of racing and briefly drop into the pits to listen in on Georgia Mahoney (from the Cycling Talk Podcast) chat to Gosse van der Meer, who is planning on racing at several of the upcoming UK races.  They preview round 5 of the National Trophy, coming from Cyclopark, and also Clanfield Cross that will make up a double UCI weekend in the UK.And of course there are the imminent World Cups due to come from Val di Sole on snow and ice, Namur, and Rucphen, a full on three courses that will challenge the whole range of skills.And for those concerned about Bruce, you are right to do so... he phoned in to report a puncture in a snow storm... hope you made it back Bruce!Support 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.
