It looked pretty nasty. We've been to GP Sven Nys a few times, and that bit always looks sketchy, especially if it's wet (which it invariably is) and muddy. There are often near misses, though fortunately not too many spectacular offs.

I hope he's fine, though imagine his CX season will end fairly soon either way, with not racing the world's and the classics approaching.

James Knox on his crash and subsequent disqualification for drafting after staying behind to be evaluated for a concussion check.

twitter.com

He makes a fair point, especially when 2 years ago an obviously concussed Bardet jumped back on a bike on Le Tour without an evaluation, finished the stage only then to have to leave the next day for concussion I seem to recall? In fact the Guardian confirms:

Cyclocross worlds have been awesome and as a rule I love Helen Wyman when she commentates however found her a little patronising about us amateurs.

I can assure Helen I am more than aware when I get out the saddle to close a gap due to the other chap having power and am aware how hard I work when I stand up to kick as well.

An exciting time with the racing kicking off at Paris- Nice, Tirreno Adriatico and with Strade Bianche today. I enjoyed the opening weekend last weekend, but with Roglic turning up at TA and Pogacar and Vingegaard at PN it could be a great few days, and I’m looking forward to it.

Shame Roglic isn’t going to TdF though.

Let’s hope everyone stays fit and healthy.

This is fascinating, so tense, has he gone too early?

He's looking strong. MVDP being on an off day (or just simply still not fully on it after CX) helps.

Someone will need to jump from the first chase group I think.
