It's the only sensible thing to do ;-)
And to think I invested in a Telenet Fidea umbrella at the Worlds :x

Was it a grass motorway course?

The course had corners, apparently.

Yes, I believe that's how they call corners...

I reckon I can do 6am to catch the last 30 mins.

Gotta be Wout, hasn't it? MvdP and LvdH both injured. Can't see anyone else getting near him.

Hot tip for the new season, Jim Aernouts had two great results at the weekend. Seems to have really stepped up a level.

No spoilers but the women's race features a great finish.

Haven't seen that yet but i know who won.

I saw the last four laps of the men's race. That was a bit of a masterclass.

Looking at the International calendar. For me, avoiding various clashes (Ronse sadly), venues visited before (Zonhoven, Koksidje), other commitments (Koppenburg) it's looking like a trip to Namur for the World Cup is in the offing. Dec 17/18.

Any other thoughts?

Doing Koksijde as we'll be in the area for the Gent 6 so it'd be rude not to. Was also thinking about the Koppenberg because it's on a Tuesday and thus doesn't involve missing a race.
