As someone else pointed out, there's a good reason that they hold cyclocross in Belgium in the winter - that's summer and the racing season in Australia.
Imagine them throwing mud and beer on an Aussie.

Silly Wellens. Doesn't he know to behave and take any chance to get a win (or at least, keep a win when you actually get one) when Sven Nys isn't around.

They did DQ him but reinstated the win after the situation was explained.
