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.
