2008 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships – Men's elite raceの英語

Due to the speedy track, no riders managed to break away from the pack and about 20 riders were still in contention for the title going into the final lap. But just like all the previous races during these championships, the favorite managed to win the race as Lars Boom stormed ahead at the beginning of the last lap and was not to be caught. Sven Nys, Zdeněk Štybar and Erwin Vervecken came within 4 seconds of closing the gap but never quite managed. At the finish line, Štybar outsprinted Nys to take silver, Vervecken finished fourth. Boom became the first non-Belgian winner since Richard Groenendaal in 2000.
