Catching Powers has been a bit easier this year: typically, May and April sees him flying all over the country, and the world, racing for his road team, Jelly Belly, but this year, he’s been able to fly under the radar, racing only a small handful of races while he works on some new projects, [...]
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 Molly Hurford The first thing that Jeremy Powers wants you to know is that he’s still only 29 years old. Seriously. He’s not old yet. “Make sure you write that I’m only 29,” he re-emphasizes, laughing. When we sat down last week in his kitchen, his yellow lab (aptly named Moose) trying to engage [...]
by Molly Hurford Sure, it’s a little silly. But here at Cyclocross Magazine HQ, we’re getting in the Easter-egg-hunting spirit by imagining ourselves soaring effortlessly over barriers, like Zach McDonald or Jeremy Powers. Of course, none of the staff at CXM is capable of such feat (see: Is Joey OK? for elaboration), but it doesn’t [...]
With the season all but over, Jeremy and Behind THE Barriers is off for one last trip, jetting around the world to Tokyo, Japan for CX Tokyo. Unfortunately for Jeremy, a bad bit of Mexican food left him with a nasty case of the stomach flu, knocking him out for a good bit of the [...]
by Kat Statman With winter in a slow decline, it may be time to start thinking about that base training for next ’cross season. Get a few more good sessions on the wooden sticks (i.e cross country skis) in, of course, and maybe a run or two or a trip to the gym, but spring [...]
by David Evans LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – In front of a raucous, cheering international crowd that thundered and roared, 36-year-old Sven Nys (Belgium) cemented his position as a living legend of cyclocross by winning his second World Championship title on a Kentucky flood plain. A second rainbow jersey has long frustrated the Belgian hero, to the [...]
by Molly Hurford As Jeremy Powers sits in the kitchen of the Rapha-Focus team house in Louisville, sipping coffee and laughing, it’s hard to believe that he has the biggest race of the year coming up in just a few short days. But the clock is ticking down to Worlds, and while his race at [...]
On the heels of Nationals, there was perhaps an even more exciting behind-the-scenes contest happening: the decision as to who would fill the discretionary spots on the US Worlds team. We already covered the qualification process and looked at who already had slots: Jonathan Page, Jeremy Powers, Katie Compton, Kaitie Antonneau, Zach McDonald and Logan [...]
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – On a cold, snowy Chicago day, National Champion Jeremy Powers (Rapha-Focus) made a late-race escape from Yannick Eckmann (Cal Giant-Specialized) and Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld teammates Timothy Johnson and Jamey Driscoll to take the first round of the New Year’s Resolution weekend. Though Johnson slid off the pace in the final lap, Driscoll managed to hold Eckmann [...]
