The course looks truly, insanely boring. I can't understand how they awarded it to a place like this, ugh. Anyway, apparently the weather is rather shitty, which in terms of cyclo-cross means the weather is great  Hopefully that can help in making it interesting.

As expected, Shirin van Anrooij won the first ever junior women's world title by some margin. Second place for Puck Pieterse at 53 seconds, over 20 seconds ahead of American Maddie Munro.

Men's U23 race is underway now.

Two out of two, Ryan Kamp dominates the race  

 

Kevin Kuhn fought his heart out in front of his own fans and got a good silver medal, Mees Hendrikx got bronze for the Netherlands and also managed to stay within a minute.

The elite women start in a few minutes. Triple reigning champion Sanne Cant of Belgium just said there's only one woman made for this track and that's Lucinda Brand. It'll most likely be between her, Cant and Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado. 

 

Personally I'm hoping for Annemarie Worst of my little home town

Five minutes done, is the rest of the world even trying?

Gewiss-Netherlands

That's it for Brand, her saddle broke.

That was a fantastic last lap

 

Worst was so close to the world title
