yeah everybody in Belgium is a MVDP. I don't understand older age groups in the US where I live. When you get older you don't have the sprint power like you used to. I think road races would suit older riders more in my opinion. But maybe that's why everybody went to gravel
Mate, I remember racing these 3rd tier races in Belgium as a young Pro in the 90s…it was pretty humbling. Take it as a an awesome lesson to learn so much – it‘s such a good (& quick) learning curve. Fab you‘re taking the challenge, kudos!
As a semi okay cat 2, i got 2dnfs/2 from my weekend in Belgium in June. Crash day 1 and then 90mins at 330w np day 2 and spat. Everyone over there just knows how to ride a bike well
If Belgium sent a bunch of amateurs to the USA to race the NCL money races they would wipe the floor with us Yanks! Even Legion would get shat out the back in short order on a technical course
Is there a way to enter those races as an amateur? Seems there's several pro riders in the bunch. Also could you kindly post the site where people can sign up for these races? Thanks a lot !

You don’t know Risk taking in a race truly until you’ve raced in Belgium.
