Jeff Curtes was at the World Cup Zeven on Friday for the pre-race course inspection. The course in Northern Germany has received a healthy amount of rain recently, and if Friday's pre-ride is a prelude, Saturday's race will be plenty muddy.
Curtes submitted this photo gallery from Friday's course inspection that takes us from clean bikes before to muddy laps out on the course to the power washers in the pits.
