Here’s the final lap of today’s under-23 race at the Cyclocross World Championships in Hoogerheide. Sorry for the lack of witty commentary, but it’s Worlds weekend, and I’m just trying to keep up.

 I can’t understand a word they’re saying, but the video quality good, and it includes all your favorites: Lars Boom, Sven Nys, Niels Albert, Bart Wellens.

Please post in the comments if you can tell me what “klotebrug” means.

There aren’t enough cyclocross videos on Vimeo, which features much higher video quality than YouTube. There are a few clips every week, but most of them are of the “hey, look at my buddies riding through the really deep puddle” variety.

This video of the London Cyclocross League Race last weekend at Herme Hill Velodrome, however, is pretty good. It features some exciting, although admittedly amateur, racing action, and the course and weather are about as good as you could ask for in a local race.

Here’s a helmet cam video of the course for the 2009 Cyclocross World Masters Championships, which was contested last weekend in Mol, Belgium. Check out the length of that sand section.

And congratulation to the maker of this video, James Melville of Scotland, who I see finished 40th in the 1965-1969 category.

World Business just did a story on the economics of cyclocross. Nothing earth shattering, but it does include some good race footage. Mostly from the Pijnacker World Cup race, I believe.

Here’s a late-breaking European championship video, from the Elite Men’s race in Spain on January 10. The production value on this one is pretty high, so it’s definitely worth checking out.

December 10-11 was national championship weekend in Europe, with big races in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, England, Italy, and Switzerland. Here are the videos that are up so far:

Dutch National Championship

Here we see the now urinary-tract-infection-free Lars Boom hold off a determined pursuit by AA Drink teammates Thijs Al and Richard Groenendaal. Is it just me, or do those AA Drink kits look a little like a cross between a paramedic’s wet suit and something stolen from a collection of early Cirque du Soleil costumes?

Belgian National Championship

Here’s a much shorter highlight video from the race for the prestigious Belgian national champion’s jersey, successfully defended by Swen Nys.

.

French National Championship

Here’s a French TV news report on their race, including the juniors and women.

.

British National Championship

Now we’re leaving the realm of the professionally filmed and televised races, but here’s a nicely done home video (in two parts) of the British national championship at Peel Park in Bradford.

Let me know in the comments or via email if you have seen video out there of any of the other races.
