Video & Results: 2015 Japan National Championships – Yu Takenouchi Defends, 19-Year-Old Kiyoka Sakaguchi Claims Women’s Title

IIYAMA, Nagano, Japan — This past weekend wasn’t just a busy cyclocross weekend in the States and Europe. It was also the weekend for Japan’s Cyclocross National Championships—which in years past shared the same weekend as the USA Cycling cyclocross national championships until that even moved to a January date in 2012.

This year’s Japanese National Championships in Iiyama, Nagano featured a technical, muddy course, filled with stairs, off-camber turns and downhill switchbacks. And if you haven’t been paying attention to the scene out (far) east, the sport is growing quickly, and featured an impressive 93 entrants in the Elite Men’s race.

At the end of the day, Yu Takenouchi (Veranclassic – Ekoi) defended his 2014 title, while 19-year-old Kiyoka Sakaguchi kept the women’s title within her Panasonic team, riding to the win and taking teammate Ayako Toyooka’s national championship jersey from 2014.

The Junior men’s race was won by Hijiri Oda (Above Bike Store Cycle Club), while the U23 men’s title was won by Toki Sawada (Team Bridgestone Anchor).
