Waaslandcross. Laatste ronde of the Bpost Bank Trofee which WVA has smashed.

Worth watching for (a) Michael VT's wheel snapping in half and (b) Sven taking the p1ss out of Wout for his (lack of) bunny hopping skills...

Sporza World Championships film.

All in Dutch so much of it is difficult to follow. But worth it for the scenes at the end with Wout, Niels and Crelan VGS team in the McDs.

I accept this is a minority interest newsflash but the Bpost Bank Trofee is changing its name to the DVV Verzekeringen Trofee.

Exactly!

CX Hairs helpfully tweeted they're all going to be shown on Sporza too. Erm, they've always been on Sporza!

Maybe you had seen this already, I hadn't. Sven Nys buying tomatoes. And Pedalling. In Dutch.

Watch the video in the report. Amazing. Had to re-watch it to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.
How slow comes the hour, its passing speed how great
