Tis true but she's mastered* beating the roadies it seems. And it should be a proper modder cross day in Luxe? unless i'm misunderstood which plays into her hands. Pretty pan flat as well.
Here's hoping anyway huge fan of hers.

hmm, trouble is this is what happens every year...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

It's got to be from Vos/de Jong/Cant. Though I'm no longer such a fan of Vos after her team appointed a DS known to be a doper. Cant has suffered in the past because she's gone all out to win from September and has ended up injured/fatigued by the time of the worlds, then up pops a fully rested de Jong or Ferrand-Prevot. She seems to have taken a more measured approach this year so I'm hoping that will result in the win she deserves. Neff is different - she appears to bottle it on the big occasion, which is really a shame as for most of the season is a class apart.
Women's cyclocross racing is really the business at the moment. Every race has 4 or 5 top class riders racing at the front, which is considerably different from previous years. I really hope that it continues to grow so that we can see a u23W category. At the moment there really isn't the space for young female racers to learn how to race - it goes from nieuwelingen to elite although course some riders do ok, it is not the best system for developing racers.0 -
