  10 July 12 • 0 comment

  

  Justin Lindine (Redline) had the chance to wear the stars and stripes in full US kit last weekend at the Windham World Cup: a race so close to his hometown it’s practically in his own backyard. With enough UCI points to qualify to race the World Cup, Lindine was still relegated to a last row [...]

  Todd Wells may have not raced much cyclocross last season, but he had a good excuse: he was goaling for an Olympic berth and had to focus on his mountain biking. Last weekend, we caught up with Wells after he took fourth place at the Windham World Cup mountain bike race, which was his best [...]

• Georgia Gould on Windham, the Olympics and Cyclocross Season

  4 July 12 • 0 comment

  

  Watching the women’s race at the Windham World Cup was heartbreaking for virtually everyone on course. Georgia Gould flatted just before the finish, and her 50-second lead on the second and third place riders (teammates Catharine Pendrel and Katerina Nash), quickly dwindled. In the end, she was nipped at the line and relegated to third [...]

  by Molly Hurford Looking to get ready for cyclocross on the off-season but finding yourself short on time? We looked into the Cyclo90 H.I.T.

• Cyclocrosser Helen Wyman Takes on Criterium Racing in Great Britain

  13 June 12 • 1 comment

  

  by David Evans Anyone who has wandered around the paddock of a top level bike race has, at some point or another, stepped over, around or in a trickle of riders’ urine. A well-timed and discrete expulsion behind a team car is often preferred to skating across poorly tiled bathrooms on cleats (surely a sport [...]

He took second overall in the series, after a strictly-USGP season that landed him on plenty of podiums. Now, he’s been jet-setting around the world racing the mountain [...]

  24 May 12 • 0 comment

  

  After an amazing 2011-2012 cyclocross season, with a second place at Nationals and a dominant win in the collegiate race, Kaitie Antonneau should have been able to relax and enjoy her spring semester of college. Of course, she still had cyclocross worlds to contend with, and then a collegiate road season. There’s no rest for [...]

  19 May 12 • 0 comment
