Video: More cyclo-cross shenanigans as riders slide into the mud

Once again, unkind slope leaves field struggling

It’s cyclo-cross season, and the comedy videos are coming thick and fast … well, the mud is thick, the riders not so fast as they attempt to get through it.

Similar to the video we posted from the Pan American Cyclocross Championships in Cincinnati last week, this video – from a race in Asia – shows how mud plus sloping terrain combine to make things very difficult indeed for riders.

Spare a thought for the guy in the orange helmet … he’s fighting for third place when he comes into this section, but by the end of it he’s second to last.

For all we know, the other guy he manages to beat out of the quagmire is still there …
