No rest for the crossers. Hexia Cross from Gulleghem today.
Vas took the women's race, although Brand, Alvarado and Betsema all sat it out.
MvdP and Pidcock going in the men's. No WvA today.

Fair enough. Its maybe a bit like 6 day racing: you need to go to one to experience the atmosphere (not this season though!)
Masterclass from MVDP today so far. C'mon Tom

World Cup CX from Hulst today.
The awful Betsema won the women's race. Brand and Alvarado rounding out the podium.
Marianne Vos racing for Jumbo-Visma for the first time.
MvdP crushing it in the the mens. Pidcock and WvA in a shoot out for 2nd.

What's the issue with Betsema, b&b? I don't follow the women so much.

Steroid doping. She tested positive in two different races in 2019, but ultimately received a very short retroactive ban, so didn't miss any racing and was immediately rehired by her team. Usual tainted supplement excuses, although I think things got changed after Contador, so that for cases contaminated products cases, UCI rules allow for variable punishment "depending on the Rider’s degree of Fault" (10.5.1.2).
