Anybody have a link to watch the World Cup races from Waterloo?

Hopefully I won't get into trouble by a mod, but:

The UCI YouTube Channel's Coverage is Geolocked, but the Women's Race is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFxQJUDBm-U

Paste that into a YouTube Proxy Site.

Alas, I didn't get to watch the Men's race with the UCI Channel's Link and FloSports are getting all the "Alternative" links pulled.

Unfortunately it'll be the same craic for Iowa City/Jingle Cross this weekend.

PM me if anyone is looking for a B race series entry for remaining 3 supercross races.

Anyone using hunt all season wheels and/or schwalbe x-one bite tubeless? Need to get some new wheels sorted for this season!

I am using schwalbe x-one , they are fine, ok in most conditions.

Bambaata · 01-10-2018 6:44pm

Thanks for that. Hunt do a tubeless option to fit/seal/supply for 114 so am tempted to take them up on that.

Whatwicklow · 01-10-2018 7:16pm

Cool, tubeless is the schizzle alright, just mind the low pressures sone guys quote, too low and your tyre will just roll of the rim.

Bambaata · 01-10-2018 9:29pm

Ive always ridden clincher, never experienced the lows of tubs so interested in seeing how these will roll - if i commit! Im in the middle of buying a house!!! Head says no, heart says yes!!

Tubs or tubeless?

Any information out there on the UCI Cyclocross race up north this weekend? I heard something about sand! I am registered for support B race and I can't find much information relating to the event. I imagine the circuit will be very tough and technical.

Thanks for that, course looks a bit ordinary from Aerial view (laps around a few pitches) but I'm sure it will be a different beast up close!

Mr. Grieves · 02-10-2018 5:03pm

Why do you think the course will be especially hard?

Detones is such a wuss he even considers a muddy puddle hard....

SuperSean · 02-10-2018 5:23pm

From the previous year it looks pretty tough

I was thinking the same but I watched that video on Facebook earlier today and it certainly looks like it'll have a few interesting features. If it's anyway wet it'll be good craic.

I'm surprised you can form an opinion from 50 places behind me ;-)

Tubless or tubs, always been on standard clinchers so havent had the feel of lower pressures

Great weather and great racing in Navan today, a real show by promoting club Navan CC, they even had their own barrier tape!!

lizzylad84 · 14-10-2018 5:31pm

Due to injury I couldn't race navan today. Pics and videos on FB look great.

calistro · 14-10-2018 8:18pm

Great racing in Navan today, nice additions to the course and as always, free beer!!

ht9zni1gs28crp · 14-10-2018 9:23pm

Cheers all, always good to get some feedback.

The course itself gets better year on year, nature really taking control and providing a spectacular setting.

We sent in a request a while back to the gods for some course watering prior to the event with sunshine on the day. Didnt dissapoint!

Im tired now, a Leffe will help the sleep tonight. See you all on the 2nd December for the next feature.

mint man · 14-10-2018 11:03pm

very enjoyable day in Navan , well organized and a real good buzz around the place , thanks NRC

Rode the first race of the Munster league today in Killarney, run by my own club. The weather was dry and warm, and the course fast and hilly with lots of technical hairpins and a spiral.

Read OldVelos' response to the fast and hilly course with lots of technical hairpins and a spiral in Killarney here: http://www.oldvelos.com/the-field/

Enjoy

Getting a bit p*ssed off with some of the ringers entering B races. A champs jersey was at the front in Belfast ans AFAICS the gut who won the B race in Navan not just rode the Ras this year but was 2nd in the A race a couple of years ago.
Some lads need to cop on to themselves, fooling no one, ruining the racing and also leading to lower fields in the A races where they should be..

Weepsie · 18-10-2018 10:00am

Do you self declare your category in cyclocross? I imagine you can be a great Cat 1 (A1) racer on road, but brutal on Cyclocross, but given the growing popularity I imagine there should be more formalised grading.

Also is there money to be won? Some people just want glory and will drop down to get whatever the prize is. (Not just in cycling)
