Koppeberg cross last lap (youtube).

Amazing how 36 years old Nijs rides the world champ off his wheel!
Turned the pedals with anger after bad luck recently.

I love how they're riding through piles of beer cups.

thanks for the link

Nys. Never the underdog there and now a 9 time champ of the event.

Does anyone know who these announcers are? I always hear them listening online and enjoy them so much more than than their american counterparts and I don't even know what language they are speaking.

that thing makes the venues I turn myself inside out at each weekend look like the kiddies course

Michiel Wuyts , Christophe van de Goor, Paul Herrijgers (ex WC Kokshijde) and others. They speak Flemish / Dutch. You can download the races after several hours to a day often at cyclingtorrents.nl

I was thinking "that looks pretty smooth compared to the DH and Enduro runs I do" but it takes skill to ride fully rigid rim braked bikes with such skinny tires. 140mm to 210mm travel with big tires makes a world of difference. Those guys have exceptional skill.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Still looks fun!

[SteveP]

courses are absurd.

[allerge99]

That looks like a lot of fun and ridiculously hard. It's just amazing how strong these guys are and the handling skills they have

When god attacks (.14sec) you dab your foot in respect (.28sec.)

I couldn't put that kind of power down on the first lap, let alone the last lap. Damn that was a surge!

IMHO Cyclocross riders = WRC drivers; the best handlers of their respective machines..

Sven is looking absurdly strong this year. I didn't think his form would last, clearly I was mistaken. Its been a Alberts-Nys show in Europe this year....Pauwels a distant third.

I always thought it was the carrot and the chef from the muppet show :-)

I finally got a chance to watch this. Awesome.
