S3E10 - Kerstperiode

In Episode 10 of Season 3, Neil and Bruce review the bumper Kerstperiode over the Christmas and New Year break. Neil was out in Belgium and on the ground for most of the races, and so we hear comment from up close to the tape, as well as from the pits. They talk through the Zolder World Cup, Wout's return at the DVV from Loenhout with the iconic oopsie whoopsies, the mega Diegem Superprestige night race, New Year new kit new shampoo from Baal, and the back-to-school Uni race from Brussels... and they refuse to even acknowledge the spiral of doom. They wonder where Iserbyt found his leg warmers and where the Telenet Baloise Lions jerseys have gone from the front of the men's field. They also give thoughts on the successful Helen 100 Junior Women's DVV with the future (and let's face it current) talent of US riders Madigan Munro and Lizzy Gunsalus, the well known and former Crosscast guest Zoe Backstedt, and Fem Van Empel (NL). Huw Williams dives into the pits with Anna Kay and Beth Crumpton as they prepare for the National Champs. And in the Laaste Ronde Matt Payne dives into the pits to chat with Helen Wyman to get a regular 100s on the next world cup from Nommay, and they preview the imminent UK National Champs from Shrewsbury. Would you bet against Pidcock and Kay, the strongest favorites for years? Jersey-tastic. #SYOTOSOTTClick to view: show page on Awesound
