The Crosscast S4E07 - Mid Kerstperiode

In Episode 7 of Season 4, Neil and Matt update on the latest big races of the Kerstperiode - Zolder and Dendermonde.A contrasting pair of races with Zolder keeping to a classic course with another fast and flowing event, and Dendermonde being visited for the first time. They debate exactly how we got to having a World Cup on such a quagmire as Dendermonde, but recognise some fantastic performances from the likes of Pieterse, Honsinger, Turner and Mein. They also discuss course design in terms of rider safety for both events.In the Laatste Ronde, they are joined by Cero - Cycle Division's Finn Mansfield to help preview the upcoming races at Bredene, Baal, Gullegem and Hulst, all of which he raced last year.... although the Hulst race this year is not actually coming from Hulst. They discuss some of the unique features of each venue including the mini flyover for cats at Gullegem, and the downhill whoops at Baal. With 4 races in 5 days it is going to be a busy new year.#SYOTOSOTTClick to view: show page on Awesound
