Summary: The biggest weekend of cyclocross season is here! Worlds start Saturday in Denmark. We preview the action and pick a few key riders you can expect to reach the podium. But first, we talk about Elia Viviani, recent winner of the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Race. How does he fit into the pantheon of modern sprinters, and what will he be able to achieve now that he is the number one sprinter on Quick-Step. And we finish off with a chat with Daam van Reeth, a.k.a. Professor Cyclocross. He is an expert in TV viewership trends in Belgium. Unfortunately, the trends are not looking good for 'cross.
