The 2020 Cyclocross World Championships were held in Dübendorf, Switzerland this weekend and for a mountainous country, the track was laid out on a flat airfield. Lots of fly-overs, run ups, and long straights were the name of the game. Belgians took few medals, the Dutch dominated, and Tom Pidcock is the best in the world (after MVDP).

We've also included Off the Back's first book recommendation segment. Icons by Bradley Wiggins, and The Rider by Tim Krabbé.
