    by Molly Hurford Danny Summerhill is a little young to be considered a cyclocross legend, but as one of the few Americans to ever make a World Championship podium, he does have that legendary air about him, especially since it seemed like he was hanging up his cyclocross bike forever, trading it in for a [...]

For one thing, the American spends most of his time with his family in Belgium, so time zones alone are enough to make interviewing difficult. Secondly, Page is known for being soft-spoken when it comes to interviews. However, when he opens up, it’s well [...]
