by Kat Statman Turkey Day is fast approaching and what does that mean? We are, oh so close to Christmas week, arguably the best week in ’cross racing ever, with a race almost every day to live stream and geek out on. But, a few things to deal with first. Louisville secures a non-endemic sponsor [...]
by Grant Berry LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – On a difficult course that offered little opportunity for rest, Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant) once again showed her dominance by riding away with the victory. Behind her, USGP Series leader Katerina Nash traded blows with French national champion Caroline Mani until a late-race crash took Mani out of contention for the [...]
It’s time to really start thinking about ’cross season, maybe even starting to glue up some tires if you haven’t already. Now that it’s that time of the year again, heading out and pinning, or zip-tying, numbers up is probably a good idea. The Pro racers have that in mind too as they’re out getting the race miles in to prepare for a strong ’cross season.
This week, the Tour of California is being absolutely dominated by ’cross riders, with Jamey Driscoll, Jesse Anthony, Jeremy Powers, Lars Boom and Ben Jacques-Maynes all making appearances at the front of the race. [See some of our race coverage of Stage 2, Stage 3 and Stage 4.] Sven Nys is on his way to his second Olympic games after a second place finish to Julien Absalon. John Gadret came oh-so-close last week to a stage win at the Giro, but clearly that wasn’t good enough for the Frenchmen, as he sealed the deal this week with a Stage 11 win. Is Kaitlin Antonneau making a switch to the mountain bike? Rumors are brewing that the USGP may make a stop in Bend, OR. This week’s Working Man’s Edition takes another look at Justin Lindine as he heads to Canada for the Coupe de Quebeque and Spencer Paxson as he crosses the pond for the Dalby Forest World Cup.

America’s best chance to win its first-ever Elite Cyclocross World Championship rested on the shoulders of US National Champion Katie Compton. With an incredible international winning record this season, and without the typical late-season leg cramps that have hampered her from training and racing, Compton was the one rider cyclocross fans throughout the world had [...]
Yesterday and today, riders have been out testing the course at St. Wendel, testing gear, lines, and fitness while contemplating the changes Mother Nature might be bringing. Yesterday’s muddy mess today has frozen solid…will it be a hard, fast course this weekend, or a sloppy slog? Either way, we’re excited! Yesterday, Zdenek Stybar rode for a full [...]
