Join Dan Lloyd in sunny Benidorm as he takes on the UCI Cyclocross World Cup course to see how he stacks up against the world’s best. We break down the most technical sections of the circuit, from the treacherous sandpits to the muddy off-camber turns, before setting a full gas "hot lap" against Bernat Font Mas. Finally, we compare Dan’s time to the pros—just how much faster are the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Lucinda Brand?
