In episode 227 of Cyclocross Radio, Elisabeth Reinkordt joins Zach, Micheal, and Bill to break down everything that happened at the first stop of the XCO MTB World Cup, which took place last weekend in Albstadt, Germany. After a quick trip to talk about the cyclocross racers in the Giro, we go deep into the Albstadt races. It's a long one, but there was so much to discuss, we couldn't do it in just an hour.
