  By Jake Sisson We’ve now got 21 weeks of fantasy cyclocross in the books, and amazingly, the overall victory is not a closed case just yet. This weekend’s action included a GVA stop, Kwattencross Lille in Lille, Belgium, and a Superprestige stop, this weekend in Hoogstraten. While, for the most part, it was in your [...]

  By Jake Sisson We’re almost in the home stretch of the Cyclocross season, but don’t despair, there’s plenty of action still in store. Erwin Vervecken proved in Roubaix that, even in the twilight, lights can shine brightly. The same could ring true in our fantasy competition, where a late charge could prove pivotal in the [...]

  By Jake Sisson EDIT: EXPLANATION OF NATIONALS SCORING It’s that wonderful time of the year where the cyclocross peloton splits off to it’s respective home nations and riders try to bring home what many feel is the most important win of their season. That’s right folks, it’s time for Nationals. For many nationals winners, they’re [...]

  By Jake Sisson So as I was trolling through results from this weekend, I originally intended for there to just be the two C1 races from this weekend that would count. As I looked closer at the results, I noticed that the majority of the world’s top talent headed to Tervuren for the Vlaamse Witloof [...]

  With most countries getting ready for their national championships this coming weekend, the 2008 U.S. championships are already a distant memory. But what if they were hosted at the same time as most of Europe? It’s not out of the question and still being discussed for future nationals after 2009′s event. There are obviously a [...]

  Well, American Cyclocross fans, this is your last chance to take home any points from your American choices, as after this weekend, the American calendar is over (except for nationals of course). This weekend’s USGP stop in Portland, Oregon is the last American C1 event

  Despite the fact that there were only two races to score points on this weekend, just about every record set in Fantasy Cyclocross was brushed aside. Alright, granted there are only 10 weeks worth of records set to date, but still, it was an impressive weekend considering how few races actually counted. Here are the [...]

  Part II of our Weekend Preview. Part I is here. Sunday’s prestige promises tired legs and minds after the power-sucking sand of Koksijde, Belgium. After driving four hours to Gieten, the Netherlands, who will be at his best? You can count on some Belgian for sure. Superprestige Men The Superprestige will no doubt feature the [...]

  fter weeks of having a busy weekend schedule, international cyclocross is taking a bit of an after-thanksgiving break, only offering up one major race this weekend. While those of us in America are recovering from too much turkey and stuffing, rather than racing in major UCI ranked races, the Europeans have a World Cup event [...]

  Now, I may be a bit biased, well a bit really biased, but the most important race on my calendar is this weekend in Southampton, New York. Why is that? Well, for one, my club runs it. For two, its an epic race and has featured some of the best professional fields in America over [...]

  I do apologize for the delay in releasing this week’s fantasy analysis. I got stuck studying for some excellent quizzes and tests, and have stuffed my brain full of the inner workings of the Urea Cycle and Fatty Acid Beta Oxidation. If only this stuff made me faster…

Belgian TV Teletekst reports that this morning he felt fine, but by 4:30 p.m. was much worse and was kept in intensive care at the University of Ghent, and is expected to remain there for several days.

  Match fixing? Points shaving? This century’s Black Sox Scandal? You guessed it, looks like the creator and moderator of the CX Magazine UCI Fantasy Cyclocross league has assumed first place and all the wildly attractive accolades that come with it.

  Everyone relieved that the election is finally over? I know I sure am, that way I can go back to diagnosing the world of elite cyclocross and the only polling system that matters is my homegrown cyclocross fantasy scoring system. How home grown is it? Well, I’m in fourth. Just sayin.
