Ian Field 🏁🚵

@wildwoodzy Sorry, I have no control over that! I’ve passed it onto the sound team. Thanks

@FieldyCX can't hear your commentary over the pa systems commentary

@heybutch1 @olibeckingsale Thank you! 🙏

Dudes @olibeckingsale @FieldyCX your mics were hot that whole time. Congrats on the 2nd kid. 🤣

@MichaelCHogan Arrrr haha must have been!! Or in the women’s race? I’ll put forward your suggestions

@FieldyCX Um sorry maybe it was your co commentator who said “what’s the name of the duck”? yesterday.

The ducks name @FieldyCX Bill, Bill withers? Lushers lips?

@JezCox @vth_michael @PS_CC_CT @CXHelen @Cyclocrosss Don’t get me all excited Jez!!

Just getting ready to commentate on a race where @vth_michael is in the breakaway for @PS_CC_CT . Cross fans will love this. It's May but what the heck. I hereby declare it the start of Cross season! Sound the claxons @FieldyCX @CXHelen @Cyclocrosss #crossisboss #cyclocross

@cyclocross24 Pretty unlikely at the moment….

Very curious what TBC will be 21 December the day after Antwerpen. Finally a World Cup in 🇬🇧 Great Britain hopefully? 🤔

🗓️ The UCI has revealed the UCI World Cup calendar for 2025-2026: 23/11 🇨🇿 Tábor 30/11 🇫🇷 Flamanville 07/12 🇮🇹 Cabras 14/12 🇧🇪 Namur 20/12 🇧🇪 Antwerpen 21/12 TBC 26/12 🇧🇪 Gavere 28/12 🇧🇪 Dendermonde 04/01 🇧🇪 Zonhoven 18/01 🇪🇸 Benidorm 24/01 🇧🇪 Maasmechelen 2501 🇳🇱 Hoogerheide

Never seen so many riders first time through the pits wanting lower pressures 😂

It’s Hamme time!

@Craig273 @JezCox @discoveryplus @eurosport The old Boone has isospeed rubber bushings as such which allowed some ‘flex’ but the new one doesn’t have that in the head tube anymore. I think given how rough the course was everything was flexing!!

@JezCox @discoveryplus @eurosport @FieldyCX Juts look like a bit of flex on one shot

Happy Friday! Great news is that the next 3 live cycling broadcasts on @discoveryplus @eurosport are me (sorry) alongside the mud plugging legend that is @FieldyCX as we bring you the #koppenbergcross today and #saitamacriterium tomorrow morning bring and early. Do join us!

@Craig273 @JezCox @discoveryplus @eurosport No, I don’t think so!

@JezCox @discoveryplus @eurosport @FieldyCX Just catching up on yesterday's mens race did Nys have a bit of suspension in his head tube?

@tonkovsferrari @JezCox Ronhaar and Nys on challenge but we didn’t get to see what they were using. LVDH on dugast… looked like a Rhino!

@FieldyCX @JezCox Are the Trek boys using a different brand of tyres than the others? Seem to have trouble shedding mud.

@john_johnsenior Ha!! Number of laps set by UCI not organisers of races or series’ however I get your point. The system needs some tweaking

@FieldyCX I imagine Koppenberg was only 4 laps because if it had run to 5 Fem and Lucinda would already have the first two places in the series sown up. Their classification makes no sense.

@StevieG_1967 @JezCox @Cyclocrosss Yes, there is a fundamental flaw with the system. Mason only took back 20secs on Iserbyt last year when iserbyt didn’t even race… I had hoped there would be a tweak to the rules this year!

Hey @JezCox @FieldyCX top commentary WE #KoppenbergCross race 👌🙌💃 Non-rider in #X2OBadkamers gets 5’ penalty … 8th place was >5mins so a non rider gets a benefit 🤷‍♂️ Why not have penalty as same time for say 20th? Or time of last rider on same lap as winner? @Cyclocrosss

@Joursans @JezCox @Exact_Cross @discoveryplus @eurosport Looks like everything going ahead as normal. I am sure there will be something to recognise the awful events that we saw in Valencia earlier this week.

@JezCox @FieldyCX @Exact_Cross @discoveryplus @eurosport One of the best CX races of the season. Given the shocking chaos in Spain this week, does anyone know if the Europeans will go ahead this weekend?

Cross incoming this Friday! I'm covering the @x20_badkamers #koppenbergcross tomorrow with @FieldyCX and here is last weekend's Mens @exact_cross action to whet your appetite. All on @discoveryplus @eurosport

@JezCox @jens_dekker It almost goes against the rule of should have changes of pace… or whatever the wording is!

@FieldyCX @jens_dekker What's wrong with you two? You've both gone soft. I think this isn't enough climbing!!!

The last thing this course needed was more climbing 🫠

@JezCox @jens_dekker I nearly tweeted that yesterday but then saw your tweet! 🤦‍♂️

@jens_dekker I'm covering it with @FieldyCX so looking forward to it. Interesting to here your thought on it Jens

People always ask why the French juniors are so good…. Great regional and national setup! 170 riders….. all the best talent identification processes have been a numbers game.

@cyclingraptor You have over estimated his start money and underestimated his total earnings.

Iserbyt quite rightly suspended for 3 races starting today.

Shoulda coulda woulda been Niels’ without that costly slip. Thought he had played it well apart from falling too far back in the group before planks…. Good to see Sweeck back though!
