Wide roads and stacked fields made for some blistering fast racing at Sydney Olympic Park.…
All things must come to an end, and so here in Australia ‘cross season is wrapping up — it’s been an exciting one.
But to top the craziness from CX nationals there would have to be an act of god — and there was, sort of. In preparation for the warmer months the New South Wale Fire Service was conducting massive back burns in the area.
These intentional wildfires created a heap of thick smoke, which even caused a main road to be closed due to reduced visibility. Lucky for the riders the wind was not blowing the smoke over the course. Even still with choppers taking off and landing right next the to racers it made for a pretty unique afternoon of skinny tires and dirt.
