In Episode 2 of Season 4, Neil, Matt and Bruce start to look forward to the 2020-2021 cyclocross season, as it stood on 11 September. They look back at how the cx riders have been doing over the summer, including Wout van Aert winning more stages of the Tour de France than he won cx races last season... and Tom Pidcock winning more stages of the Baby Grio than he won cx races last season (as well as the overall).

They talk updates on teams that they can discuss, like Trek Factory Racing's dream team of Munro, Neff, Richards, Harnden and wonder whether they could achieve a clean sweep of rainbow stripes. They also hint at team news at IKO Crefan and Bruce's new team that will capable of achieving at lot.

Looking towards the upcoming season they give a brief overview of the international series that are ready to go, and give all the details relating to the UK National Trophy. They dive into the pits with friend of the show, Dave Haygarth who gives you all you need to know about round 1 at Milnthorpe. They also explain why the trophys are not UCI races this year.

And finally, Neil is clearly still cooped up, because he announces the Crosscast's very own CVV competition, rivaling the DVV in terms of status*, and making 15th century parallels with the upcoming battles in Kent, Lancaster, and York.
