Description
In Episode 5 of Season 5 Neil Matt and Bruce go all 2015, covering van der Haar winning the European Champs, and also taking a win in the World Cup.  They review whether this could the pinnacle of a very successful season for van der Haar, even through it has not even started for the World Championship elite men's favourites.   They debate course design at Niel and what they hope to see when elite racing hopefully returns to Col du Vam.  They also talk Tabor, where Brand also kept the race under control to take the win with a textbook move on the classic course that always provides great racing. In the Laatste Ronde they preview the next round of the National Trophy coming from another first-time venue in Sunderland, giving the latest on what to expect from the course.  They also preview the continental and world racing from the Koksijde classic, Kortrijk urbancross, and the world's newcomer, Besancon.   And finally, don't forget that TheCrosscast UK league map T-shirt is available for pre-order from National Trophy supporter Grity (grity.co.uk), and should ship later this month.  We don't do ads, and this is a way to help support the show!
