by Kat Statman It’s that time of year again, folks! That’s right, my third favorite cycling event of year: the Giro d’Italia. For any cycling fan, of all the grand tours, the Giro is the most interesting, especially because ’crossers or former ’crossers have a tendency to do really well. Even our fat-tired cousins from [...]
by John McComisky Cyclocross Magazine always promises the best of ’cross from both sides of the pond, so I think we can do no better than to feature a rider who has really lit up the domestic scene in the United States, as well as flown the flag for Great Britain in UCI World Cups [...]
by Kat Statman Folks, it really has been too long since we’ve talked about the wide world of professional ’cross racers. The Christmas week has come and gone, National Championships around the world have come and gone, and now we’re into the part of the season where the wheat is really separated from the chaffe, [...]
Helen Wyman (Horizon Fitness Racing Team) successfully defended her British national champion’s jersey Sunday in Ipswich with a win over last year’s runner-up Nikki Harris (Young Telenet-Fidea), who finished 56 seconds behind the six-time national champion. Annie Last finished another two seconds in arrears for the bronze. In the men’s race, Ian Field (Ac Lanester [...]
Unless you’ve been sleeping through the beginning of cyclocross season, you’ve noticed the prevalence of Euros racing on American soil, and the impressive results they’ve been racking up. Helen Wyman led a trio of Brits, and she took home an amazing nine straight wins, while Bart Wellens, Rob Peeters, Lars van der Haar and others [...]

Racing kicked off in the twilight at 5pm [...]
by Molly Hurford USGP Sun Prairie may be happening today, but in upstate New York, there’s some UCI action going on as well. With small fields (only 20 registered riders in the Elite Men’s field and 14 registered in the Elite Women’s field) there are some UCI points and some serious payouts that were snatched [...]
With most of the top pros toeing the line at USGP Sun Prairie, it came as a surprise when the fields at Nor’Easter Cross were still stacked with some of the top pros in the US, with a few Euros in the mix. Green Mountain winner Nicolas Badin from France was at the starting line, [...]
As the fields in the US become steadily more international, we’re seeing Euro after Euro at the top of the field, though there’s no doubt that some of the American racers are mixing it up right along with them. Today, Helen Wyman (Kona) again took the win in the Women’s Elite race, and Tom van den Bosch beat out Ian Field for the win in the Men’s field.
UK riders Helen Wyman (Kona Factory Racing) and Ian Field (Hargroves Cycles) will start their 2011/12 cyclo-cross season in the USA. Starting in Breinigsville for the Nittany Lions ’Cross, the pair will take part in eight events on the east side of America. Other key events will include Charm City, which is a double weekend of racing, the Nor’easter Cross and Ellison Park in Rochester. The trip will conclude with the Gloucester GP races in near Boston.
