Slow day at work? Here’s a cyclocross-related Friday Film to make the day go faster.
Adri van der Poel and promoters of the 2014 UCI Cyclocross World Championships in Hoogerheide, the Netherlands released this promotional video for their event. It was filmed last winter, and is intended to build buzz for the event.
It’s melodramatic, that’s for sure. And it looks like a few famous riders, including Marianne Vos, had some fun filming it.
We could do without the war theme, as there’s a little too much war in real life, but we suppose it fits with the history of the area.

By any measure, it’s probably still better than the “192 Centimeters of Dutch Pride” promotion with Lars Boom before the 2009 Cyclocross World Championships in Hoogerheide that featured the photo below.
