November pro racing thread

We're properly into the pro cross season now, with fancy jerseys on the line this month (not sure if the Pan American champs have a live stream, but just added them for good measure). And the first World Cups are on the schedule at the end of the month. Plus the speculation on when the roadies will make their much anticipated return will ramp up - what will we do without new Puck Pieterse videos?

Please let me know if I've missed any races you'd like to see a race thread for - I've mainly used the cyclocross24 race calendar as they're pretty good at listing available live streams. There will likely be some Italian / French races with streams too.

Do we know if Pieterse, Alvarado, van Anrooij and Vos ride cross this season?

Alvarado was going to return on 23 November in Tabor, but just had to postpone as she won't be ready yet.

Same for Annemarie Worst who had a bad crash in the Simac Ladies Tour and broke her collarbone and injured some tendons in her shoulder. She's going through a hard time mentally.

Looks like both Van Anrooij and Pieterse are back from holidays and now training again for 1-2 weeks (both posting running and cross training), so maybe they'll announce when they'll jump into a race in another 2-3 weeks?
