Jules and I had the honor of joining Hinault for a charity ride around CP yesterday. My front on shots of Jules were a fail (sorry Jules). Organized by newcomers bikes'n life for two worthy charities: Souffles D'Espoir and Faine House #thefainehouse #Soufflesdespoir
Check out Charlie I's Look jersey...

I rode past the Rapha store yesterday AM as the crowd was gathering to meet him. I wanted to shout to the assembled fanboys that he wasn't really a badger, it was just a nickname, but I was afraid he'd jump out and tackle me.

Fascinating

--- I guess this has a bad side, which is that a world cup level rider like De Boer doesn't have solid support from a frame maker..., but otherwise this is so seriously cool.

akin to world champion Thalita deJong winning on a 3/4 years old canti giant bicycle.

Or rather (gasp) it's *not* all about the bike?

I'm idly looking at videos of Gloucester CX, which I'm racing this weekend, and these highlights from 2001 caught my eye. Commence reminiscing, veterans:

haha, I realize rereading, that I was not explicit about it, that is why is so seriously cool.

These riders just ride whatever bike -- both DeBour and DeJong, are winning at the top level on frames their makers don't even bother to sell anymore.

These are the 1968 Cyclocross world championships (no audio)

Or a primer on how to look sharp

Also, notice: No step through.

Except for the lack of branded course barriers its amazing how modern this actually looks.

Luxembourg - I wonder if this is the same course for this seasons worlds?

you need to sign up via your cable subscriptions for access, but looks like NBC sports will be showing the world cups:

Valkenburg Men:

Women:
http://stream.nbcsports.com/nbc/?pid=27822

Hey @eloy how did you get to those streams? I wanted to bookmark the menu for future races, but when I search "cyclocross" on the homepage of nbcsports.com, I get nuthin'.

Thanks for the links, Eloy. I just watched Valkenburg. 

Speaking of international cyclocross races, anybody know the best place to stream Superprestige? 

this is just like my commute, except I do MORE wheelies
