In Episode 10 of Season 9, Neil, Xan and Matt look back on the National Championships from South Shields. Xan looks back on her race and her second place finish, after doing the jersey proud for the past 12 months. Neil also revisits the weekend where he was also racing and working with Grity.

They give their views on the planned changes to the National Trophy Series that will be introduced next year. There is a lot to look forward to and things will be different. Whilst they welcome a much-needed refresh the devil will be in the detail, and the reduced number of UCI rounds will be missed.

They also look back on the Benidorm World Cup, which Matt was commentating on the UCI World Feed, and in which Xan was racing. The races turned out to be really entertaining and another opportunity to show how the venue would make a credible World Champs.

In the Laatste Ronde, they look forward to the next two World Cups - Maasmechelen and Hoogerheide. Both races have given us fantastic action in the past and will be under the spotlight as Xan takes to the start, and Matt puts words to the action.
