The town of Niel is host to its yearly cyclo-cross race, always during
the town fair on November 11th. UCI graded C2, but a top field with all
the usual suspects. After the Koppenberg Cross (Oudenaarde, Nov 1), it
is round two in the 'Gazet van Antwerpen Trofee', a series of seven
cyclo-cross races. This is independent of the World Cup or Superprestige
series. Still to come: Essen (Dec 18), Loenhout (Dec 29), Baal (Jan 1),
Lille (Feb 5), Oostmalle (Feb 20).

Yeah, you likey? I see you got into media production yourself; I'm
afraid my files are probably highly illegal, I wonder when I'll get
tapped (on the shoulder).

The cancerous finger at the end of the long-reaching arm of a Belgian
copyright institute.

Yeah and all 15 ppl downloading them are really gonna eat into their, uh
profits.

This was a pretty interesting Cross what with the running through sand, and
behind some industrial section, lol.

BTW, thanks. Quite enjoyable. I'll definitely be purchasing the album when
it comes out! <g>

I could kiss you on the lips. The mpegs play great over my
connection, and no download time.

Pretty cool calling JP on the phone and telling him I was watching him
blow himself up on the front in the first two laps 😉

Keep em coming!!!

I could decline, but the sentiment is appreciated.

If you plan to view them over and over again, please download once and
play from your harddisk, to take the strain off the server. (right-click
and 'Save as'😉. Cheers.

Nice victory salute, wasn't it? The winner was Ricardo van der Velde,
son of Johan van der Velde, the rider first on top of the Gavia but too
frozen to descend right away. He, and several others, rode down in a van
and jumped out in the last blind corner before the finish. Hampsten got
the pink jersey and won the Giro but Breukink won the stage.

yeah.

it's easy to see why the BE/NE 'cross racers are at such a high level.
I haven't seen a lot of American 'cross races, but the courses I've
seen are not that crazy.
