Very nice, fast track, perfect weather. Tom at his peak, LVDH and Eli couldn't get him. Also, I love to see so many people watching and supporting CX riders.
Strange that the sport's governing body can only show 6:38 of coverage of their showpiece (men's elite) CX event of the year. Found and watched the FULL race yesterday on another channel. UCI needs to up their game - they talk about globalising the sport, and they still use host broadcasters who geo-block the coverage of the races. Poor show.
Absolutely right , at least show decent length highlights , 15 minutes or something like that. You can't increase interest in relatively obscure (Belgium excepted) sport if you only appeal to people who are already fans.
@@theriskinator5736 Riski!…… lots of fans like to see the best guys win irrespective of Nationality. Henri can be quite content that Belgium has a great cyclist at home keeping his powder dry for the road.👍
@@theriskinator5736 in Belgium we appreciate greatness, of the riders at the start line Pidcock is by far the biggest champion so I was also happy he won. And Iserbyt isn't liked by many in Belgium at all, and we know the other Belgian riders just aren't good enough in absence of his majesty WVA 😁
Not really, we didn't send our best rider, this world's didn't really matter without Wout or Mathieu present. They were kind enough to give a chance to the mortals to win it 😅
loved the way he got tired of Belgian horseplay and just left them. Wout is by far the current dominant force but Tom has a unique opportunity ahead. Olympic Mtb gold ; World cyclocross champ; Win the world's road race this year and he'd become the only man to do the sweep across the events.
its obvs a well deserved victory but i dont think any of those two/three can actually take great joy of a championchip taken in absence of WVA and MVDP
Nice gravel track, next time we could race on the Strade Bianche course and award the rainbow jersey there... The most underwhelming CX track I've ever seen, and it was the World Championships.
@@theriskinator5736 Top 2 sprinters ever but personally I can't consider sprinters like other cyclist. 200m in the wind vs 83km solo attack to win a Giro from the 4th position in standing....no doubt on who's better
@@boNOOBod variety? Take a look at the race track from Belgium, Netherlands or France. Thats variety! Here was just a kids track where 10 years old kids take their first steps into the world of cycling 😉
@@boNOOBod Variety means having a snowy track once in a while and loads of other tracks with fast, technical, muddy and sandy sections... And the WC track should be comprehensive of all of the above. I could have ridden this track and I have never even clipped on a CX bike.
@@sandualexandrudaniel8919 thanks for the info. I had no idea there was racing in Europe. I guess the Dutch races not worth watching? Being pan flat and all.

I'm still disappointed that the course hasn't led through a walmart :(
Too many fat people in the aisles.
Worth the price of admission

we have just watched the first UCI gravel race without even notice it 👍
the world champs in switzerland had a really easy track too
Tom Pidcock is awesome, does anyone know if he's doing XC World Cup this year?
Tom Pidcock verses team Belgium, laters!! Fantastic ride.
what a pace! would love to have been there... (watching)
Such an awesome race, FLYING !
So happy for him. To me If it was not for WVA and MVDP he would be the strongest in cx
My god, that must hurt for Team Belgium... Get burned! Love to see Piddy on top!
I'm a Belgian, and was hoping that Tom Pidcock would win, so i'm not hurt, on the contrary. Lol.
@@henriverheyen6190 how bro? I’m Canadian and wished that Belgium would win.

That course was too fast... where is the mud or sand? It was like a crit on dirt with a bunch of stairs.
Chapeau to Tom! Really entertaining ride!

Good commentary
legend
I have a hard time calling this cyclocross. More like a criterium on dirt.
Glad to see Pidcock earn a much deserved win but hard to think he is still far behind the pace of WVA and MVDP

FACT
Nice gravel track, next time we could race on the Strade Bianche course and award the rainbow jersey there... The most underwhelming CX track I've ever seen, and it was the World Championships.
Bravo
Did anyone else notice that there was only one guy with a drink on his bike? The guy who won...
He probably was the only one with time for a bottle hand up in the pits because he had a comfortable lead. Could've managed a slice of pizza too.
5:43 lol
@2:10 😂
Pidcock will become legend
Disappointing course. Not technical enough for elite level cross. No surprise the road pro drops everyone and rode away.
The Belgies were outnumbered by Piddo.
Crossisboss
Cyclocross is going to get a bit boring when TP, WvA and MvdP stop racing it.
This is gravel racing, not cyclocross!
Gravel Short Track
Tom could be Britains greatest ever cyclist
Surpassing Wiggins Boardman Thomas Froome ..who knows still only 22
Mark Cavendish?
@@theriskinator5736 Not better than Froome

I'm glad pidcock won. It would of been a very underwhelming World champion if one of the others had won it.
