I'm not familiar with the French system but they do hold their National Champs on the same weekend as the UK, as do all Euro countries (possibly all northern hemisphere?)LouisCarton wrote:the british system is completely different than the French one, can you explain what's that ?
I think there might be a "French Cup" series which I guess could be similar to our National Trophy series. Not actually sure about that.
Some good riders though. Julian Alaphilippe was a very good crosser before signing with Quick Step. Obviously Francis Mourey has done really well in World Cups and has probably been French Champ more than anyone ever. And Clement Venturini has looked really good this season.
Neil might know more?

I have actually been! I played a county cricket match there in my yoof. Never felt the need to return, mind you!Neil wrote:All I know is that the French Champs will probably be closer than Hetton which is a fictional place nobody has ever been to.Neil might know more?
But I might try and stay relatively fit over Christmas for a bit of "Eastern League Grass Motorway" at the Ipswich round

If I'm fit I may go to the Houghton le Springs race, as well as Derby, Shrewsbury and Bradford.

That's a shocking carrying technique. But, mmm, this is a no brainer, eh?

Re: National Trophy & Champs 2017/18
Bonkers is my take on Mr Huw William's course at Cyclopark. I have a feeling I rode round looking like a complete idiot with a massive grin on my face (this may not be true but feels like it should be). Icy conditions created some interesting moments but somehow I managed to stay upright throughout, though there were many Buster Keaton moments, it was the vet 50 race after all so should be seen as black and white slapstick. Lucky for me Nick Craig just passed at the line so no extra lap but think I got about as high as top 10 but dropped back to 21st by the end. Thanks to Neil for the heads up and being Comm.
