much negotiation

After much negotiation it has been agreed that the World Champions will be allowed to wear the furry armbands at all cyclocross events for that year.

rule change already

There has been a petition put to the committee to ask that as this is the first Santacrossworlds that could mountainbikes be allowed. This has been acceoted, so now it is the first Santa over the line on any bike who is the winner.
