In Episode 12 of Season 6, Neil and Matt take a look at CX fashion week, where riders decide who is going to be wearing which colours for the next season. Naturally they focus on the UK Champs that came from Milnthorpe with its extra contribution to the 'Lake' District. The look at the thrills and spills that came from a tough course that really split the fields and ended up with the fewest riders finishing on the lead lap for many years.

They also look back at how the extended points regime in the National Trophy has resulted in much more interesting racing for the non-elite riders, and a motivation for many to complete the whole series.

Looking to Europe, they review action from key nations including Ireland and the Netherlands, and of couse Belgium where Cant continued her phenomenal streak of winning every National Champs since 2009. 

They also report on the news that Spectra Wiggle p/b Vitus will be undergoing some big changes for next year... watch your feeds for news.

In the Laatste Ronde they look forward to the MC* Hamme X2O and the finale of the 22-23 World Cup with racing coming from Benidorm and Besancon, with Benidorm looking like it will be a suprisingly packed field of CX talent. (*Marvellous Course)
