      The tires are quite wide, and there are no rocks or drops for which you need some suspension. In Dutch cyclocross translates as 'field riding', as that's the main part of it, and a cyclocross bike is made for it. Also, I don't know how long an enduro mtb race is, but a cx race is only one hour, so it's rather speedy. You could do a cx race slightly slower with an mtb bike, but not the other way around probably.

Multiple falls from a completely inappropriate bike eventually snapping a cleat off my shoe when I tumbled into a steel barrier. What a blast! I will give it a try again one day when I get a chance. Meanwhile trying to figure out how I can spend a whole season in Europe just watching the pros I love.

    I am sure I am not the only one to say this, but I have a strong feeling that CX riders that cross over to road have really big advantages. The workout is brutal, the technical skills also. Obviously riding the road peloton is a skill in its own. Would love to see GCN tackle this theory and make a series where Olie or Llyody(or even both) do a Suffer fest style training protocol of X weeks and see gains on the actual road cycling data. 🤓😉

    CX is fun as hell and everyone commenting that hasn't done it should try it. I used to race CX and it's an absolute riot. Those crazy European roadies came up with this ridiculous sport to stay in shape in the off season and it definitely does the job. Plus there's lots of good food, beer, and energetic/excited drunk fans at races. It's such a fun time and everyone really should try it. Whether you ride road, XC, DH, FR, or AM you should cut your teeth and run a CX season if you have the cash to buy a bare bones CX bike.. It'll improve bike handling skills and keep you in shape in the off season if you can find a local race series. My junior cycling team raced in Rhode Island at the nationals years ago and riding a road bike with knobby tires through 8-12 inches of snow and mud was super fun. I broke a chain or something and finished almost dead last in that race after running almost a whole lap to the pits. Great times and I can't wait to do it again.

    Can you guys do a video on what clothing is worn for cyclocross and for cyclocross training. I see stuff for windproof baselayers, insulated skin suits, some hacks, etc. Just want to see what stuff works and what the pro's use. Also what works for the US in dryer climates and in europe. You could even do a video on bike prep for cx for different courses. For example in the rocky mountain area of the US i find on dry and sand courses that if i run a dry wax lube or a hot chain wax that i keep sand out of my chain. If i use different chain lubes the sand destroys my chain. I also find that i need to do full on chain soaking to get the CX gunk out.

I live very close to the place and i almost go there daily. Very few mountainbikers actually have the guts to go down there. There are almost always mountainbikers standing on top deciding wether to go down or not, but very few actually find the guts to actually try and go down there. I know, on tele it looks little.

    It’s basically beginner mtb for roadies, it is literally how I started mtb. I used to find the dunes in the Netherlands and ride down them on my 1980 crap mountain bike

    I live near Zonhoven and we ride 'De Kuil' weekly with our mountainbike as well as train with kids here weekly! It's realy nice. You should try the track of this years race here. They rode 3 times in 'De Kuil' One of them is diagonal into the steep descent. Realy scarry!

    Cyclocross is difficult to describe to people, even cyclists... it's totally bonkers yet amazing fun at the same time. Yes, you fall, yes you have to run some bits, yes you're going to spike your heart rate for the duration, but when you're done, after you've finish puking, you'll be reminiscing fondly about some feature on the course within minutes!

    The sand pit is a former sand quarry that originated from the extraction of sand and production of wet sand. Wet sand was used to make sand asphalt. This was used to construct pavements such as driveways and playgrounds for schools.

    Welcome to "The capitol" of cyclo cross: the entire country Belgium :D yeah that's sound about right :D ;) Maybe next time you could try the track for the Koppenberg cross in Oudenaarde. Even the great Van Der Poel finds that a bit difficult

    The running technique is short sharp steps. You can see the difference between the ‘stride’ pattern of Ollie and Jeremy and the results speak for themselves 🙂
