I still haven’t been able to find a video of the complete telecast of the 2008 Cyclocross World Championships in Treviso, Italy, but I do have this one of the last five minutes.

The quality is a little sketchy, but it has some great moments, including some nice aerial views of the course and the huge crowds. I’ve got to say that I would prefer the original television commentary to the new soundtrack (”The Final Countdown” by Europe, I’m sorry to report), but hey, I didn’t post the video, so that’s not my choice to make.

This is a pretty good documentary short produced for a University of Oregon electronic media class. Jealousy alert for people outside of Oregon: It offers a tantalizing glimpse into the exciting Portland cross scene, including the legendary Cross Crusade series.

Although my French is a little spotty, I believe that this is is a pre-race ride-through of the course for the 2008 French national championships. With no other riders around, you do get a pretty nice view of the course.

And here’s the women’s elite race. Maryline Salvetat of France take the gold but American Katie Compton surprises everyone by grabbing the silver.

This video is a great one to watch when you’re looking out the window and thinking that it’s too wet or cold to get on the bike and ride. It makes bad weather look like the only real time to be out there.

If you’re interested in the movie, you can order it on DVD from Amazon here.

There are several homemade Cross Vegas videos out on the web (the Beer Handup Video, for example), but this one gives a pretty good feel for the event. It was professionally produced by Hilride and features the Kona Factory Team.
