Today at the Planet Bike USGP, Katerina Nash was again victorious, and Bart Wellens demonstrated that he, too, had winning power on this muddy, wet course. This morning, TheRoadDiaries warned of dire weather, saying, “weather getting worse by the minute here in Sun Praire, rain is heavy, winds picking up, thunder all around.” Photo ops [...]
Cool and slick cyclocross conditions greeted Sun Prairie, Wisconsin for the first day of the UCI C1 Planet Bike Cup, the opening weekend of the 2011 Exergy USGP Cyclocross series (see Troy Wells’ course preview video here). While some key racers on the women’s side were missing (Katie Compton, Amy Dombroski and Helen Wyman), the [...]
We’ve been getting a bunch of questions about the digital magazine, especially Issue 13, and wanted to announce that our much-loved and highly-discussed Issue 13 has been available for several weeks now, as well as several more back copies, including Issues 6 and 7. Included in Issue 13 is our eye-opening CXM Labs testing of [...]
Katerina Nash, in our feature on her Issue 13 said, “The bottom line is that cyclocross is all I want to race.” It’s clear the Luna rider meant it, and has been anxiously waiting for this season to begin. She’s transitioned from her mountain bike schedule into this year’s cyclocross season fully motivated and fit, [...]
by Josh Liberles ISSAQUAH, WA Katerina Nash (Luna) and Bart Wellens (Telenet-Fidea) opened up gaps in their respective races, taking back-to-back wins on the weekend. If Saturday’s StarCrossed story was the quality of North American cyclocross when tested by the world’s best, perhaps the take away from Sunday’s Rapha-Focus GP was just how good the [...]
CrossVegas winner Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team) has doubled down and taken the win in StarCrossed, and former world champ Bart Wellens (Telenet-Fidea) claimed his first victory on American soil by shedding the rest of the front group with three laps to go and powering the remaining distance alone.
The Belgians came, they saw, and, oh man, have they conquered. Well, an American did grab one win and that was a UCI race, so I guess it counts for something. The first week of the international season is under way and is there ever a bunch to talk about! First is CrossVegas, so much going on there. We can’t not talk about this weekends upcoming races in Seattle, Vermont and Maryland. Did you catch the velo bowl? Jurgen Mettepenningen is confident in Pauwels, Aernouts and Vantornout. National Champ Todd Wells will not defend his stars and stripes this January; London Olympics and Louisville 2013 are the goals. Finally, in this week’s Working Man’s Edition there were just too many of you, so instead, there’s a list of all the riders that deserve some respect!
by Robbie Carver The first big race of the 2011-2012 cyclocross season got underway as the Elite Women blasted off the line at Cross Vegas.

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 [...]
At the final World Cup in Hoogerheide, the Netherlands, today, Katie Compton (Planet Bike) showed she is in form for the World Championships in St. Wendel next weekend. The seven-time US National Champion won in solo fashion after a bobble by Hanka Kupfernagel (Stevens), which also blocked Marianne Vos (Nederland Bloeit), allowed the American to [...]
