Cyclo Cross World Cup Dublin

Cyclo Cross World Cup DublinFinally the Belgian Wout Van Aert got his World Cup victory in Dublin. However, in the absence of Mathieu Van der Poel. The Dutchman is still in the training camp in Spain. But that doesn't mean anything, because Van Aert has prevailed against high-class competition. In addition to the strong Belgians, Briton Tom Pidcock was also there.

 

 

Everyone is talking about Pidcock's home advantage. But I'm not so sure. A Brit in Ireland? You probably prefer a European. First, someone else determined the race. Eli Iserbyt tried his resurrection and put himself at the front of the race. Although Van Aert hit a post at one point and fell back, Iserbyt was unable to take advantage of the situation. Others took on the role of the former world champion and rushed Iserbyt the lead. So the Iserbyt ended where it always ended lately, around seventh place.

Due to Tom Pidcock and Laurens Sweeck not being able to finish the race for themselves either. In the end, the great Belgian rake-pointer got the must and won the race with a lead of 14 seconds. A dirty rag in the chain could not change anything.

I think of Germany at night. Luckily football doesn't play a role anymore. However, the Belgians around Brussels are already preparing for a hot World Cup night. However, the Red Devils come from Morocco. No, I've never thought about football. But then I don't give a fuck. One less sorrow. No, I think, but only a little, and without pain, of the German cyclo cross athletes. And as much as I rub my eyes. I can't find a German driver. Neither in the start list nor in the result list. You probably just saved the fare and the mud fight. The results of the once so proud Cyclo Cross Nation have been too bad lately.

Phil Bauhaus wins the 1st stage Down Under

  The boys down there don't call the Tour Down Under the Tour of Australia.  That would also be presumptuous.  Because the radius of events covers only a fraction of the fraction of the continent.  People say Paris is France, but maybe they haven't seen anything else of the country apart from the Eiffel Tower and the Moulin Rouge. Anyway.  Today the boys did a few laps around Tanunda.  You don't see much of the huge continent there either.  After a short journey of 40 km, there were four more loops of 16 km around the city.  Tanunda has a good 4000 inhabitants.  But they are plentiful in the area.  Here in Germany we might not speak of a city.  But down here, Down Under, it's a little different. One hill had to be overcome on each round.  His name is Mergil or something.  In each case it is 230 meters in altitude over a distance of 13 kilometers.  That will be a real Hammerberg.  Incidentally, he had to be ridden...

The Ruka weekend starts with snow.

  What would skiing be like in autumn without Finland.  Where the snow still knows the calendar.  Although, if I remember correctly, there were years when the slope was also drained here.  That's when you came up with snow farming.  You mothball the snow in summer and put it back in the landscape and on the ski jump in autumn. All would not be necessary.  Although you are still just below the Arctic Circle, it is freezing cold in Ruka.  And it looks like it too. The combined athletes are allowed to open the official ski jumping winter season.  Yes, you land on snow and not on green plastic straws.  Feels completely different.  Thanks Finland. As is well known, the competition of combined athletes consists of two disciplines.  Jumping and cross-country skiing, on skis.  This time the boys have to jump off the large hill and later in the afternoon run another 5 km. The Germans are known to be the favorites in this discipline....

  Sascha Weber is the new German Cyclo Cross Champion. It was hinted at beforehand.  Only two riders had the potential to become German Cyclo Cross Champion.  However, the old master Marcel Meisen weakened a bit in the race on Sunday in Munich.  So he had to admit defeat to his old rival Sascha Weber.  Weber had never climbed to the top of the podium at the National Cyclo Cross Championships.  He will therefore be glad that he managed to do it again at the age of 34. Of course, the whole thing also shows the misery in German cyclo cross sport.  There is simply a lack of competitive youngsters.  The two luminaries of last Sunday do not exactly belong to the world leaders in this sport.  And the youngsters are happy if they are not overtaken in Belgium and have to retire.  But it's rather rare. So the result is certainly a reason for Sascha Weber to celebrate.  To wear the jersey again so shortly before retirement is a stroke of luck....
