CX is everywhere lately. Kadens had a few pages on cross bikes and the dates for CX Cupen. And just today a forum for CX stuff (training etc) appeared on MCKs website. Bookmark here for future reference.

So plans must be underway for the season which is why I ask, or rather I beg that the 'pulled lapped rider' or 80% rule will not be used for veteran or sport classes. Last season most races followed this but not all. Interest comes to this sport from people trying out and if they have fun they will come back. That is how I got hooked. But in a class which is a mix of H30, H40 and H50 it will never be a fair race. I know I am not the only one who feels this way.

Once again, let us gubbar have our 30 min + 2 laps even if that takes 50 or 60 min. Especially those driving halfway across the country to race. Especially those who have just spent a hell of a lot of money on a new cross to improve a little bit. Because if not, those gubbar will be forced to sport class to be lapped by people on MTBs or forced to go to Denmark where they don't use the lapped rider rule in any class.
