Two bigs wins capped a season of accomplishments for Niels Vandeputte of Alpecin Deceuninck. After overcoming an off-season injury, he raced more times than any other rider in 2023/2024 all while balancing college studies with the Kersperiode, managing final exams with his World Championship preparation, and still having a enough gas in the tank to race in February. This is the story of a true cross racer.

After 12 World Championship preparations and 11 starts, we look back at 2023/2024 and discuss the best off season format for a cyclocross racer - should a crosser be focused on gravel, road, crit, mtb? Curtis has done it all: where does he get his best results? As part of that analysis, we take a look a the French National Team for some additional insight. (see link below). Join the discussion and get In The Red!

All the work is done, and it's time to see where Curtis stands among the best in the world. In less than one week, he takes the startline at the World Championship for the 11th time in his career. His approach has been a bit different, only racing a short three-race block in Europe (as opposed to his traditional heavy 10-12 race schedule during the legendary Kerstperiode). The night before he flies to Prague, we reflect on his preparation, his performance at World Cup Hoogerheide, and preview Sunday's World Championship race.

Curtis is back racing in Europe, and we're back with another watch party. Benidorm was fireworks for 60 mins with Curtis on the startline for all the action - was it the greatest non-championship race of all time? So says Tony.
Fire-up the trainer, or serve up some snacks and a cold beverage, hit the replay below and join the party. It's Wolrd Cup Benidorm 2024!

Hulst offered a crazy spectacle, and we couldn't resist another watch party. With Curtis training in sunny Spain, and Tony at home in snowy NY, we rewatch all the antics of this year's Hulst WC. Grab a beverage, or jump on the trainer, pull up the race on the link below, and join us for some spitting fast, headbuttingly aggressive cx racing!

Lots of good stuff in this episode as Curtis and Tony discuss Really Rad, the USCX, and Pan Ams. Loaded with insights on each event, but recorded BEFORE the announcement that GCN will be closing GCN+ (more on that in the next ep). In the meantime, dive into Curtis's thoughts on winning a second USCX title, a disappointing Pan Ams performance, and a little Yogi to round it out.

Charm City CX showcased some of the best racing yet in the USCX as this year's Fast Five threw haymakers Saturday before coming back for more Sunday.
But the storyline goes beyond the tightbattles and constant lead changes: a rivalry between Curtis and long-time foe Vinney Baestaens led to two final head-scratching laps that opened the door for the young American, Andrew Storhmeyer, to take his first career C2 win.
In this episode, Curtis addresses the tactics and race dynamics from those final laps on Sunday as well as full race recaps from both days.
