In Episode 1 of Season 6, Neil and Matt are back with another season of cross-goodness! This season we say farewell to Bruce Dalton and wish him a happy retirement from the mic as he pursues so many ace projects over the winter. Neil and Matt will be teaming up with guests throughout the season to bring something new to this season's pod.

In Episode 1, they look back on what the cross-community have been up to over the summer, focusing on some of those emerging riders who look to be in the form of their lives forward to the upcoming cyclocross season - ones to watch include Niamh Murphy who finished on the podlium at the women's Junior Tour of Flanders, and our brand new European MTB eliminator champ Zoe Roche.

They cover Thomas Mein's move to Hope, and also question how we can still be waiting for an update on Toon Aerts' status, 7 months on from when he failed a doping test.

Looking forwards the upcoming seasion is looking really varied with National Trophies in classic and fresh venues, just like the World Cup which even goes to Benidorm this year. At least there will be sand.
