In Episode 12 of Season 3, Neil, Matt and Bruce review the final round of the World Cup that came from Hoogerheide. The men's race went to form meaning that Toon Aerts retained the title of World Cup winner. The women's race was fabulously drama packed right until the line and saw Brand take the win ahead of Worst and Cant, after an arguably tactical disaster from Alvarado. That means Worst ended up victorious in the World Cup overall.

They mull over the controversial topic of the return of Betsema and the impact it has had in the world of CX, and also touch on the touchy topic of funding for the GB Cycling Team.

On the day that the new contract with Tormans is announced Matt dives into the pits with the sensational Thomas Mein, after another super season.

The main focus of the show is, of course, the Laaste Ronde, where the 6 World Champs races are previewed. We reckon that we are probably the most informed outlet anywhere for the ones to watch in the Junior Women's category. The team also give their views on who is looking strong for Switzerland and make predictions across all categories… can you do any better?

And finally, they dive into the pits for some Wyman wisdom from on-the-ground at the venue to see how it's looking, how steep are those flyovers, how squidgy is the ground, and how tricky are the turns.
