The first eleven riders in the men's under23 #cyclocross World champs race were separated by almost 3mins - the flat course in #Duebendorf clearly is treacherous and power-sapping. And once the rain sets in, tomorrow's races will be battles of attrition. The next race is less than one hour away as the women start at 3pm. Can anyone keep the Dutch riders from dominating the first day of racing at #Duebendorf2020?

The sun has gone in #Duebendorf as the men's under23 line up for their World championships race. But no rain yet. Target time is 50mins, which should translate into six 8-minutes laps. This might well be the most open race of this year's #cyclocross worlds. Gage Hecht might be in for a surprise against the strong Dutch, Belgian, French and British riders - and the hometurf heroes Kuhn and Rouiller. French rider Benoist is the first leader in the race.

The Dutch national anthem #Wilhelmus sounds from the speakers at the #cyclocross World championships in #Duebendorf, Switzerland for a first time. Highly unlikely to be the only time this weekend, really. Plenty of spectators showing up despite the somewhat lofty ticket prices. Two more races today that I will inform about with toots. As for tomorrow Sunday, expect no toots as I'll be at the course with a VIP ticket and a cowbell.

Right now, the sun is out in #Duebendorf and the temperatures reach 11°C - nit your normal early February weather in #Switzerland. Rain is expected to start later in the day - the women's race might be affected. Tomorrow's races might be held on a much deeper and muddier course. #cyclocross

The #cyclocross World championships in #Duebendorf have begun with the women's junior race. This will likely be a Dutch battle between Shirin van Anrooij and Puck Pieterse. I went to Duebendorf yesterday for the #gravel charity ride and had a look at the mostly flat course as well. The finish gate looks nice at dusk... #cycling

I have just registered for the charity #gravel ride that will be held on January 31st in #Duebendorf - on the day before the #cyclocross World championships kick off. According to rumours a certain Sven Nys might show up as well. Will put some more rubber on those #DTSwiss wheels of my #Roadlab PanacheTi for that. Plenty of space to go wider than the 30mm tires I'm using for all-road purposes.
