We have known for a long time that cyclo-cross is a television sport. But it can always be a bit more dynamic: during the Superprestige cyclo-cross in Gavere, rights holder Flanders Classics called in a drone.

For a while anyway, because the UCI intervened and took the drone off course. “A mortal sin”, commentator Renaat Schotte judged.
