Toshio managed to hide his disappointment at finishing 9th out of a field of 60 riders despite crashing and cutting his leg open!!...

| How good does that Team Guell kit look? |
A huge thank you to Mike, Yuka, Brad, Toshio and the whole Kansai Cyclocross crew. As usual we have a ton of photos from the day that will be posted here for infinity. It's basically gonna be 33c round here fore the foreseeable.
