Okay so it is video day on the blog today.
I have heard the comment that American cyclocross racers are too nice and that is part of the problem when they travel to Europe to race they get pushed around. Most of the Euro Cross Camp posts talk about having to close the door lest you get chopped in the corners. Greg talked about the old Belgian guy telling him he was too nice, but he won some money off of him. Well Steven Hunter who races for the Veloshop has gone over to Europe with Molly Cameron and posted this video of his "brush" with Richard Gronendaal.
Nice move Richard. I can only imagine what was going through his head "Silly pink American get the F*CK out of my way!" I would say that if that is a regular occurrence on the Euro scene than Yes we Americans are too nice.

Was he getting lapped? language difference? Either way not the best way to move a lapped rider. Bet he doesn't even get a verbal slap on the wrist from the UCI.
Gronendaal is the same guy who is in the infamous picture giving Nys the finger as Nys won the race - and Gronendaal and Nys were on the same team.
