Cyclocross has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed cycle racing on a short off road course, riding racing style bikes. Any and every technique is used by the competitors to speed themselves ahead: bunny hopping, shouldering the bike, skidding, even some physical contact. 4, record 1, English, - cyclocross

Qu'est-ce que le cyclo-cross? Des coureurs qui montent et descendent très rapidement de vélo, telle est l'image classique du cyclo-cross. Effectivement, souvent le vélo doit être porté sur l'épaule pour grimper un passage particulièrement raide ou boueux ou lorsqu'un obstacle ne peut être passé en selle. [...] Le vélo ressemble à un vélo de route [...] le cyclo-cross est un sport qui se pratique l'hiver. Terrains boisés, chemins, clairières et montées courtes mais très raides sont les principales composantes de ces circuits qui mesurent normalement de 2,5 à 3 km. 3, record 1, French, - cyclo%2Dcross
