Slow day at work? Here’s a cyclocross-related Friday Film to make the day go faster.

It’s melodramatic, that’s for sure. And it looks like a few famous riders, including Marianne Vos, had some fun filming it.

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.
