Nijs was fallen in a descent. Simon had a good start, I thought he had a puncture. He will tell his story by himself!

Early reports had Nys receiving medical attention. Was he seriously hurt?

I guess one upside of Nys not winning for cross fans, is the chance to see the gorgeous belgian champ jersey in races again.

He stays a half minute on the ground. He says he can'tmove his leg very good probably through the shock of the fall. He goes to the Hospital. More news I haven't.

I noticed all riders has a chip on their socks, probably for time measuring. Is this the first time in cyclo-cross this is used? I don't see any reason for this?

Or did they expect a bunch sprint in Zeddam?

_________________

chips are usual
even at our national championships ,you have to wear one
at a cyclocross ,i dont see the sence of it
in frankfurt we had to fix them on our bikes, but i changed it after 2 rounds....
at cross it is not possible to hide a round

i noticed that Wellens uses additional breaklevers (?) on his bike. never seen him with them

Wellens ride this levers just in the worlds......
All Fidea Riders used also the Challenge Grifo Semi-Slick tubular tires.
With sucsess.......

the chips may also help with split times per lap, which when the riders go back to look at their races can provide a lot of important information as to where they made mistakes/rode well.
