Masters of the mud: the 50 best cyclocross riders ever
The success of a sport often lies in its simplicity. Take a forest or a field - the muddier the better - and a bicycle and you have the concept of cyclocross. More than these two ingredients are not needed to get a popular festival going. In no other sport is there such a visible battle against the elements of nature as in cyclocross. The fact that the sport has never renounced its authenticity explains its immense popularity in Belgium and the Netherlands. Masters of the mud - The best fifty cyclocross riders ever is a richly illustrated book about the fifty best cyclocross riders in cycling history. Both old and new top riders are discussed. Among them Roland Liboton, the De Vlaeminck brothers, fathers and sons Groenendaal and Frischknecht and Adrie van der Poel with youngest son Mathieu as the brand new world champion. Complete with the lists of honours of all World Championships and the Superprestige rankings.
