after this i´d boil myself in the shower. It doesn´t snow where I live so I can´t understand how they can ride without gloves. Real heroes

[89dieselpower]

I' ve got the feeling that Nys would kick these guys #sses as if it was a training ride

[7MRsilkgrow]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­aha Get some engines you pussies, and don't worry I'm not fat its just that bicycles are what you use to train for motocross not something you ride tracks with.

[MultiNotyourbusiness]

@7MRsilkgrow wat

[7MRsilkgrow]

@MultiNotyourbusiness Let me re articulate myself, . . . Bike's are good for loosing weight, but that's it not for riding on dirt tracks because that's not "extreme"

[iCycle1217]

@7MRsilkgrow have you ever done it?

[waitingroom05]

@7MRsilkgrow

These guys use their legs to power these bikes, and you call THEM pussies? You rely on an engine to do the work for you, go back to your double wide.....

Winter olympics fgor the win

[TheLuketalks]

worst kit ever.

[shapedworld707]

did cyclocross myself between 2001 and 2005 in the -16 and -18 and there were already Americans of my age comming to Belgium to cross. They were no match for us but they really learned alot because most of them really didnt know how to set their bike up for different terrains and such. They also used normal tyres instead of tubeless tyres wich made a huge difference in their disadvantage. greets from Belgium :)

2013 United States -Louisville world championship

It's good to see cyclo cross is also (a bit) popular overseas and not just in the Low Countries.

[pdp110]

I am just getting into CX this year, and I am building my own bike right now. It is a big brand name bike, and i am not sure what type of shoe and pedals to get. Any ideas? thnx

[fastrnb]

@pdp110

A lot of guys favor the MTB-style clips and shoes.

[Mikfokido]

How more US cyclist (and from other country's )come to join and practice in Belgium races , how bigger and recognized will be this epic sport . Whe are waiting ... . Just d'ont be shy , The U.S.A. is not the whole world you know .

[Mikfokido]

Sven Nys (belgium) , Niels Albert (Belgium) , STybar ( Tsjech) , Bart Wellens (Belgium) , Kevin Pauwels (Belgium) , Klaas Vantornout (Belgium) , Tom Meeuwsen (Belgium, just 22 years old) , Bart Aernouts (Belgium)

This 8 riders beats all the this USA top-crossers .

Just keep trying because it is a wonderful sport (epic) . In Europe whe practice this al for more then 100 years ,and Belgium make it a big international sport .

[henryisbendover]

could you enter with a mtb??

[KStealed]

@henryisbendover up to you lol

[mur1oc]

@henryisbendover you can, but it will put you at a disadvantage. I was beating experienced guys with mtbs while on a cross bike in my first race

[RNNRv2]

what helmet is the champ wearing?

[jjjnoblez]

what is the song called

[mrminhead]

a little nudge at 0:29

[kluiify]

nice jersey

[nordenphil]

I wish we have this cycling sport in the Philippines, thus I built my Kinesis Cyclocross and tested it in a Virgin community called Baler Province, a town facing the Pacific Ocean. Very rugged terrain for 4 hours in the mountain going there, and sometimes pulled-out the bike out of my rack just to amaze my self.

[hatebadmusic]

bad music.  great cycling.

[rei8yo3J]

No gloves at 1:11, is that common?

[joejc07]

its not uncommon

[joebgoode]

great sport!

[royayersrules]

Nice footage, dodgy epic music....

[dehaeck]

I'd wish a European & US meeting

[royayersrules]

In the women's race USA are in with a shout, in the men's forget it!

[kikkers123]

@dehaeck That's almost impossible, Jonathan Page used to be the best American Cyclocrosser, but when he went biking in Belgium, he had troubles to be in the top 10.

The best Cyclocrossers are to be found in Belgium.

[hellside2]

The level in belgium is much higher.

[grfab]

@hellside2 no shit!?

[saltysailor72]

ha, way to try and show off the sponsors at the end.

[youknow862]

what a battle!!!

[rbibko]

What is the name of this song? Great video by the way, one of my favorites!

[Lostinsantamonica]

He's riding WITHOUT GLOVES?! That's insane.

[joeltbeck]

this year the temp went from 62 to only 22 in less than an hour and dropped 24 degreese in just 5 min during the collegiate womens race. most riders in the college groups were just in riding shorts and tech shirt. no gloves. no arm sleves.

[hgerry]

I don't think the music was dramatic enough.

[12josefer12]

thats like mtb but with road bikes?

[Lostinsantamonica]

Yep. It's called Cyclocross. Cross between MTB & Road, skinny knobbies, road geometry & bars. Pure fun & suffering. For the riders. Pure fun & drunkeness. For the fans.

[fastrnb]

@Lostinsantamonica

I'll give you a thumbs up, but with the caveat that CX predates Mountain Biking by decades.

[glooer]

Johnson sure fought hard.

[cronincr1]

this makes you want to break out the cross bike and ride in the mud

[munchydoan]

Dang, impressive stuff man. I was wondering who was shooting from the ATV carts.
