Even though I’ve been fixated on the brevet thing recently, there’s nothing like a good Cross race to get the blood boiling. For those of you who didn’t know, US riders nabbed 3 silver medals in the four main races, with Danny Summerhill, Katie Compton and Jonathan Page all seriously kicking it through one of the sloppiest courses in recent events.
How bad was it? Well, those are Elite Men tumbling like Novice 3’s in the video above. Gorgeous stuff…
UPDATE 2/1/07 - Thanks to Tarik who points out that this was a different race entirely… (see Comments thread)
But this is a truly tragic bit of course design….
