Minor Races 2023 / 2024 Spoilers !

Another cross race, another MvdP exhibition. Somewhat livened up by him swerving over to the barriers on the final lap and gobbing over some spectators.

Cyclo-cross - the new Punk Rock

Good for him. If he hadn't done it, the urine-throwing would go uncommented, and nothing will ever be done about it. He's basically taken one for the team.

The people in the wrong here are the minority of fans who take advantage of:
- being trusted with beer in the race area, and
- being trusted to watch close enough to touch the riders.

Another day another dominant Van Der Poel win.

I think this pair might give them a run for their money.

or even this pair,

But it should make for some interesting racing this year.
