by Cody Sovis If US Nationals already seems like a two-woman battle, don’t forget that the US has depth in the women’s field like never before. While Katie Compton (TREK Cyclocross Collective) is the overwhelming favorite, and Georgia Gould (Luna Chix) has been riding strong enough to be a challenge, be very careful who you [...]

by Molly Hurford Jamey Driscoll is one of the few top cyclocrossers that we haven’t written about in our “In the Saddle” feature until now. After a stellar 2011/2012 season that ended with one victory at Jingle Cross and plenty of top ten finishes throughout, the recent college graduate is already hard at work prepping [...]
by Josh Liberles Tim Johnson, one of America’s top ’crossers, has had a disc-brake-equipped prototype carbon Cannondale SuperX on board the Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com team truck for most of the season, but he’s only busted it out in races recently. It was aboard that rig that Johnson finally notched his first wins of the season, at the [...]
by Kat Statman Every year, cyclocross and women get a little closer to equality and Rabobank has helped making that transition again. So I hear that disc brakes are the next thing in cross, but where are they? Niels Albert has taken the plunge as the first Euro to really think that disc braking performance [...]
Tim Johnson and Jeremy Powers: teammates no more. Watch these two champions clash for the first time at Cross Vegas wearing opposing colors. Before they meet on the field, they will do battle at the Interbike/PDW Circulus for an exhibition race and press conference.

We’re just over a month away from the opening race of the American UCI ’cross season, Nittany Lion Cross and it’s sounding like things are heating up in the world of pro cyclocross. Cannondale–Cyclocrossworld.com announced the signing of Christian Heule for the 2011 season. Katie Compton won the Steamboat Springs Stinger. Bart Wellens, Sven Nys, Niels Albert, Sven Vantourenhout, Tom Meeusen, Rob Peeters and Ben Berden race with motocrossers for charity.
The middle of summer is quickly approaching. Molly Cameron has an FMB tire order ready to go out. Challenge and FMB are releasing new mud treads to challenge the famed Dugast Rhino. New disc ready bikes are hitting the tech news pages. So, with all that happening, where are the pros? Amy Dombroski is on her way to Italy for Marathon Cross-Country Worlds. Katie Compton hangs up the knobbies for a night. Stybar as Boonen’s lead out man?

There is no substitute for the gasping breaths, the burning legs, the cross-eyed attempts at clearing the sand pit or the barriers. But we try to capture the feeling with our substitute races and by seeing what is happening in the world of pro cyclocross racers.
