Crits sound good, obviously Bauer v Dao ftw!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Will think on it some more 
Paul: it was a football match with 2 teams filled with CX riders. Team Vague vs Team Cook. You can read all about it. The link is at the bottom of the 2nd post in the Game Thread (behind all the links to the race reports, pieces of history and Scope editions) |

Yeah FroomeDawg & Atlantius have been excellent additions. Hoping that roturn will find his way back to us soon, too.
I alwaysx thought Vague was the good guy in this Cyclo-Cross narrative, but then again, he's pretty good at choking the whole peloton with just one arm, and he's bike could certainly use some deathstar-font on it.

If Vague is Darth Vader.
Then who the hell is Cook?
Should be Luke Skywalker. But my heart says he's the Emperor  just doing what he wants to do and loving it!
Anyway, hope to bring you the Ardennes Cross tomorrow! Well, I am probably buying fifa 16 tomorrow so might be Wednesday, too  |

Cook is obviously Han Solo.

Just wondering, is there any reason Sylvain isn't a favourite for a climbing 5 and technical 5 course? (Sorry, I'm tired there's probably a very good reason )
Nice to see all the new players getting into it as well now.

Not particular, he'd probably be the next one on the list. Only chose 4 favorites this time around, though.The others are either stronger or have the advantage of a higher form |

Expect the Ardennes Cross either later today or tomorrow.
Thinking about the "off-season" debate, I might have a nice solution:
What about a small, very minor season kick-off before the next season really starts with:
- a jumping competition (who can jump the highest bar?)
- a city criterium
- a dune challenge (who can get the highest up a particular dune before dismounting)
Let me know what you think about that! |

I'm strongly against the city criterium because I'm sure we don't need something like that in CycloCross. But you can count me in as for the jump and dune challenges, those I'm pretty sure would turn out totally awesome!

Thanks for the nice posts
Wanted to do the report now but I haven't the time and I want to do this report properly. So I'll do my best for tomorrow! |

Two crosses left and we've reached the end of season 2 |

Ohhhh that was beyond beautiful. Cornelis, still got it, glad to see him win another World Cup, and not because it was over Vague, because Dries is awesome! Listerijn and Lipawsky, best of the rest, let's shake off that tag next year!

What a way to ride a final world cup race ever for Mr. World Cup. Will try to write something on friday, won't have the time (and probably the energy) to do it earlier.

What a post by Vague.
Is that season over? Can he come back from this mentally in just three days to compete in the final weekend? |

Oh and gratz to Selwink, hopefully Cornelis won't leave the game for good and stay around a bit as an expert etc.
