Tomorrow sees the last of the Kerstperiode (Christmas period) races from Koksijde. Famed for its sandy course in the dunes, it should have been the penultimate head to head this season for Pidcock, van Aert and van der Poel. However, Pidcock has withdrawn due to illness and I'm sure it will still be a great race (13.55). Of late, the Elite Women (12.30) have proved the more exciting to watch. Time to finish off the last of the mince pies... 😋
Mathieu van der Poel is now coming out to play a couple of weeks earlier at Herentals, the same day Tom Pidcock starts his season. Herentals is Wout's back yard. Might he be tempted as well?
I am hoping that my Eurosport subscription survives. If not, we'll just have to have a club Christmas and New Year trip to Belgium and the Netherlands to watch from the side of the course 🙂

Time for an update.

But still none of them are coming out for Christmas as early as Michael Bublé.
The Christmas TV guide has been updated after Tom Pidcock announced his schedule 🎄🎅
Except now we can't see any of the clashes without buying discovery+... I miss GCN already!
