@wayno265 @cyclocross24 It’s ok they have changed the course and taken out the bit that scared me!!! Remember what else I said? The section that scared me was 100m in 2.8km. There’s 2700m which are good for you! I always had good results there despite this. Last lap all in people slow down too much then

@ChaosNotMusic @cyclocross24 Thank you 🙏🏻

@resultsboy @sloansh 😂😂😂😂Stef calls it cutting sometimes 😂😂😂

@elessandra_p @jens_dekker @kapelmuur29 @DaveWhite99 @FinishLineRT We shall never know why it was like it was but hopefully she throws all her toys out the pram at them and next race is a dream for her😂😂😂

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@jens_dekker @kapelmuur29 @DaveWhite99 @FinishLineRT Yeah yeah. Well way back then you only had to put both feet on the ground so he hopped on and off and moved up about 20places😂😂😂 that’s the year the rule got changed

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@FinishLineRT @jens_dekker @kapelmuur29 @DaveWhite99 😂😂😂 Robbie does still do the pits for an elite man. Maybe Quintin Hermans. Can’t remember. Jurgen was working as a soignieur for lotto doesn’t get his hands muddy anymore😂😂

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@jens_dekker @kapelmuur29 @DaveWhite99 @FinishLineRT Naughty naughty Jens “using the pit in the possibility of traffic”😂😂😂😂😂😂. We spent way too long rewording that rule at the cross commisssion after Van der haar did exactly that in Zolder one year and the Belgians got pissed😂😂😂😂

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@jens_dekker @kapelmuur29 @DaveWhite99 @FinishLineRT Like you say who knows or checks what pit you are in? Equally pit etiquette is really held up by the mechanics and they all know each other and clearly hers have never been to a cross race so wouldn’t have the ability to just move or even be told quick come in here by their mates

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@MickMikelt @StefanWyman 😂😂😂true it does have its down sides too😂😂😂😂

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@MickMikelt @StefanWyman Oh that’s much better😂😂. All good here thanks. Stef is working hard and Sascha and me just spend our days finding fun things to do😂. I’d highly recommend a toddler to get you out and about!!

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

So in case you didn’t listen to my voice enough yesterday you can listen more again today this time to a podcast I did recently 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 go on you know you want to

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@pedalhard A one handed lift!! That must have been the only year I was able to save a little energy 😂😂😂 and thanks

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@sloansh 😂😂well it seems a little unusual but guess it gets press thanks again

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@FinishLineRT @DaveWhite99 Oh and I spent the first few races learning how crash mode was a disaster for a cross racer the first year they had it😂😂😂😂

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@DaveWhite99 @FinishLineRT It seems she was a sram athlete until she switched teams so sure for the second one. But the first issue was a stuck chain and her pit crew didn’t move to the closest pit, but stayed furthest away in an uphill pit and then handed her her bike on the wrong side🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@DaveWhite99 @elessandra_p @GcnRacing Yes our feed from on the ground was in and out for the first lap and a bit then it was perfect again. Maybe they just cut that for the replay

[Helen Wyman @CXHelen]

@cycling_stewsie @GcnRacing I know right. That finish was epic loved it. And thank you
