Cyclocross Magazine got a chance to sit down with the elite men’s team from Belgium to get their thoughts on Louisville, Worlds in the US, travel and timezones, and their thoughts on the course thus far. Our first interviewee was Klaas Vantornout, the current reigning Belgian National Champion. He’s had one of his best seasons [...]
by Christine Vardaros, Cyclocross Magazine’s American-turned-Belgian correspondent The Belgian vibe all week here has been a nervous one. We are all waiting on the riders to test the course, and we’ve been reading Nys’s complaints that he hasn’t been able to really see what it’s like. Once they’ve been on it then they can report [...]
by Molly Hurford As Jeremy Powers sits in the kitchen of the Rapha-Focus team house in Louisville, sipping coffee and laughing, it’s hard to believe that he has the biggest race of the year coming up in just a few short days. But the clock is ticking down to Worlds, and while his race at [...]
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – Fuji Bikes is proud to announce that it has reached a sponsorship agreement with US National Cyclocross Champion Jonathan Page, who tallied his fourth national title in commanding fashion earlier this month in Wisconsin – notably crossing the tape without a bike sponsor. “When we learned of the opportunity, we jumped on [...]
by Chris Mayhew The main thing to know about Louisville is that 4th St is hopping. A lot of local stuff has popped up there in recent years. It’s right next to the host hotel. Market Street has some good places to eat as well, just a bit east of the hotel. The super hip [...]
2013 Masters World Cyclocross Championships racers are required to register their pit crew to be able to work in the pits and help with bike exchanges. Today, some pit crew members found that the cost of volunteering for a buddy was at least $50. Mechanics who went to register with their riders today for Masters [...]
The first day of Masters Worlds, or at least, the qualifying heats, is in the books, and while today’s fields were fairly low key, the course itself didn’t allow riders (even in the smaller fields where just finishing guaranteed a starting position for the race) any real rest. The rain held off for the duration [...]
The first day at Masters Worlds was low-key enough to allow us some time to prowl around the venue and see what was happening. And what caught our eye was the neutral bike washing and lubing available at the WD40Bike tent, arguably the most popular spot of the day for riders pre- and post-race. Manned [...]
The Internet has been ablaze for the past week with talk of the #Louisville2013FoamParty. And while it started as a joke, the party transformed into something very real, and we called up one of the promoters to figure out how this hashtag turned into an actual party, to be held Sunday night at Prime in [...]
Team CF, the rolling brainchild of esteemed cystic fibrosis researcher Dr. Jim Wilson is racing into its fourth year with some fresh faces and a new open to the public Club Team structure. Team CF, which has been a dominant force in the NUE series — Cheryl Sornson captured the women’s overall in 2012; Christian [...]
With so many parties and events being announced, we finally decided it was time to take action and create a “master list” of all of the events happening surrounding Worlds. Tuesday, January 29 1:30-4:30 PM: Masters Worlds Heats Wednesday, January 30 8:30AM-5:00PM: Masters Worlds Heats Thursday, January 31 9:00AM-5:30PM: Masters Worlds Races 5:30-9:00PM: BelgiumBike party [...]
A foam party. At 2013 Cyclocross Worlds. In February. You can’t be serious, can you? The internet is a crazy place sometimes. Maybe nothing recently seems quite as crazy as the #Louisville2013FoamParty hashtag that started appearing on Twitter a few weeks ago, and quickly dominated cyclocross Worlds discussion on and off-line. Jeremy Powers hinted that [...]
The World Championships will no doubt be the biggest show in town come late January, but chances are, unless you’re a top athlete hand selected to represent your country, or you’re a Master taking the sport way to seriously, you’ll be there to watch, and probably drink some bourbon to stay warm. So why not [...]
by Christine Vardaros Finally, the Belgians (and Dutch) are coming to play on our turf for the big event! While most of them will understand English, thanks to their steady American infusion of TV shows, music, and video games, it is always thoughtful to learn a few words to make them feel a bit more [...]
by Molly Hurford Cyclocross Magazine was lucky enough to get to spend some time in the RV at Kings CX in Cincinnati on Saturday with three of the best racers in Europe: Niels Albert, Wietse Bosmans and Radomir Simunek. We talked with them about their impressions of the US so far and their thoughts on [...]
If you’ve attended a USGP, or any of the major cyclocross races in the US this season, you’ve probably noticed Steven Wilkes working at the Rapha-Focus team tent. But when he isn’t fixing rider’s bikes and making sure all is right in the riders’ worlds, he’s been out snapping shots of the 2013 Cyclocross World [...]
After storming to a solo win at Nationals earlier this month, Jonathan Page proved that living, training and racing in Belgium might just be the right move for an American racer trying to make his or her way in the sport. And at Kings CX in Cincinnati yesterday, he left is mark on the course [...]
by Dave Queen I am preparing to make my cyclocross pilgrimage. Cyclocross, like almost any activity, has those who observe, others that dabble, some who are dedicated, and a select few for whom it is their Alpha and Omega. I am a cyclocross racer. Oval tracks exist only for dogs or horses. Roads and trails [...]
by Joe Bellante with additional coverage by Molly Hurford CINCINNATI, OHIO – The first race with the Euro crew assembled for Worlds next week is in the books, and it’s clear that despite a trans-Atlantic voyage, nothing is stopping the Euro invasion. Niels Albert took the win in the men’s race at Cincinnati Kings International [...]
