S4E10 The end of the world(s)

In Episode 10 of Season 4 Neil, Bruce, and Matt focus on the thrills and spills, the dreams that came true and the nightmare races, that came from the 2021 World Championships in Ostende. In this strange season with no Dutch National Championships the rest of the world held back to allow the Dutch squad to fight it out and be awarded a clean sweep of rainbow jerseys.The Crosscasters debate whether strategy or body composition had a bigger effect on the racing, and despair at the career changing flyover that saw two of the main U23 contenders have serious slippage that could have cost them the title and a vital element of a pro-rider's palmares. Despite Neil trying to avoid it, they also give the results of The Crosscast Podium Predictions and congratulate the winner of the listeners competion and the best predictions from within the studio.And in the Laatste Ronde, they look forward to the last big races of the year due to come from Middelkerke, Lille and Brussels (if they don't get cancelled).#SYOTOSOTTClick to view: show page on Awesound
