Day 1 of the Cyclocross Worlds will have Gingy cheering on the Junior Men and then the Under 23 Men from around the world.
Gingy stayed at the Continental Hotel directly across from the Treviso train station. With a full belly from the hotel served breakfast Gingy embarked on a train ride to Spresiano where he thought it would be a short walk to the venue. Heavens no! After asking for directions multiple times from the locals it was 3 km later when he finally found the event. With only 30 minutes until the start of the first race Gingy made his way to the course to take on the action. the race started promptly at 11:00 local time and it was Arnaud Jouffroy (France) whom took the Junior world championship gold.
During the break between the races Gingy checked out the expo area .
The next race was the Under 23 Men at 2:30 local time and this time Gingy changed his viewing location to the rugged run up that proved to be very difficult. It was no wonder with the obstacles that strewned the course.
This race was not even contested and it was Niels Albert (Belgium) who grabbed the Gold. This kid put on a clinic for the other men and he will prove to be a great addition to the Belgian Pro team in the years to come.
