    This might be a silly question, and I think I know the answer - Why don't we (UK) have a World Cup round??......

    I think you know the answer to that question dude. But apparently they re thinking of one in the US so if it keeps growing we might have a shot soon!

    They're lobbying for an Olympic slot, so when that happens it might be on Eurosport, along with other Olympic sports like Cross Country skiing and Ski Jumping
  • Fair sprint?

    I would say no and Nys should be dropped to 2nd place.

    Pauwels did not go to the officials to appeal the sprint so result stands..

  • I'm really enjoying following the cyclocross this season. It's a whole new way of appreciating cycling, the technicalities, the pace, the skillset involved.

    I think his team did but were denied....

    If it was Cav, he'd have been disqualified for sure! :wink:

    I assume from the riders point of view, they get to keep the money so it's an extra few quid in the pocket. With the fans I'd imagine it's showing your appreciation much like you see at a lapdancing joint in films!

    Yeah, his wrist is still in the process of healing so it was unlikely he was going to go for it.

    The year before he made a spectacular stack.

    Looks like a Spesh tricross rather than a Merckx that Tom's riding...
