See it before you sign up for it

Course previews, films and race reports, made by the people who were out there. Nothing here needs an account.
Free, and always will be. Every one of these is somebody else's work and the link goes straight to them. A course changes. A film of it from three years ago still shows you the ground, and the race director still has the final word on everything else.
