From what I've been reading, the racers loved the course. "Finally a real cyclocross course" as opposed to racing in a soccer field in Vegas or what ever they had in Seattle. Praise from the Euro riders on the crowds. Since it was UCI certified, signs around course were in both French and English (I thought announcements were supposed to be in French too??) and UCI officials were out early measuring the barriers to make sure they conformed. The start was strictly by either UCI points or registration, and you were assigned your start position (ask Recursive). Then it was "5 minutes to the start" "One minute to the start" "30 seconds" etc. The crowd could have been bigger IMHO. Definitely not as big as Downer Ave or Downer's Grove.

It was cool though and put on VERY WELL.

Oh, I've got more video that I shot of the lower cats., that will be coming out in a day or two. I had my backpack STUFFED with camera gear ... and I used it.
