The Crosscast S8E11 World Champs Selections and World Cup Finale

In Episode 11 of Season 8, Neil, Matt and Xan look back on the recent goings on in the world of cross.  In a show that has more ups and downs than the Loenhout washboard (AKA the 'oopsie whoopsies') they travel from the ice of Cyclopark to the Mediterranean sunshine of Benidorm.This week the National Body has received a lot of criticism and they unpack the issues surrounding World Championships Selection and the decisions not to fill places in the Elite Women and U23 Men categories.  They review the selection process and consider whether it gives the best outcomes, and whether it was followed.They also get some insight into the (lack of) TV coverage at the National Champs and talk through the hits and misses for the event as a whole.  Xan is excited to preview the World Cup finale double weekend coming from Maaaaasmechelen and Hooooogerheide where she will have a chance to admire the National Champs stripes in the famous courseside mirror wall.  Don't get distracted Xan!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.
