The slow speed over the fence second one was great. In typical internet riding god fashion i was thinking why don't they just let go of the brakes down that hill, then came the clip of the guy who did, ouch

the Saturday races were genuine mayhem - one of the women looked to have smashed her face up quite badly; glad they spared us that

It shows how slippery when the woman on the climb went down.

Oooof! I don't watch it and am clearly only being shown the "crash bits" but how far would conditions have to deteriorate past that to make people think "**** it, I'll just ride my MTB"?

I know it's all part of what makes CX what it is, but they were terrible conditions for hosting a bike race.
Alice Arzuffi looked to be in a bad way after crashing down that hill.
Healing vibes to all.

The bloke at the end; was he just survivor rather than winner?

Looks familiar.
Was there a brass band?

Cross is a very silly sport.
Why don't they use Bromptons or maybe be allowed to kick each other in the shins?
That'd make it even more miserable which seems to be the entire point of the exercise.

You can see some of them having that momentary glimmer of hope that they were going to ride it out just before they came crashing down
