by Kat Statman The season is oh-so-close. You can almost taste it. So, what do we have for you then? A little bit of transfer news, and a little bit of debate. Gabby Day and Sabrina Schweizer go to Rapha-Focus; Joe Dombrowski joins the Pro-Tour Ranks, but with who? Danny Summerhill to United Healthcare; lastly, should Superprestige [...]
by David Evans After a couple of lackluster weekends, Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) outclassed the competition in the final GVA Trofee race in Oostmalle. Albert saw the front of the race for the first time after forty minutes and, unfortunately for his competitors, didn’t see a wheel in front of him for the rest of the [...]
HEERLEN, THE NETHERLANDS – GP Heuts is one of the last races of the season, but despite “battle fatigue,” the Euro pros (and some Americans) are still making it to the starting line. In the men’s race, Kevin Pauwels would prove dominant. He was followed 13 seconds later by Lars van dar Haar, who typically [...]
by David Evans LILLE, BELGIUM—Marianne Vos took the win in the fifth race in the GvA Trofee series, Krawatencross, today. She was followed by Daphny van den Brand and Sanne Cant, exactly the same podium as last Sunday’s World Championships.

In a historic display of dominance, the Belgian team took the top seven spots today at the 2012 Cyclocross World Championships in Koksijde, led by an incredible solo victory by Niels Albert. Defending champion Zdenek Stybar – nor any other rider– had no response for a Belgian team, racing on Belgian soil, bearing the weight of a country demanding they regain the crown as the world center of cyclocross. From the first lap, the Belgian Juggernaut completely owned the race, with Czechs Zdenek Stybar and Radomir Simunek quickly strangled out of the front group.
64 men from 19 countries will line up for the 2012 UCI Cyclocross World Championships in Koksijde, Belgium. The men will be called up by UCI rank, with World Cup Winner Kevin Pauwels leading the pack. American Jeremy Powers will crack the top 10 in the starting grid, starting in 9th.

by Chris Bagg HOOGERHEIDE, NETHERLANDS—Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor) won a tactical affair here in Hoogerheide today, retaining his World Cup skinsuit in taking the series finale. Riders covered the fast course eight times, with the lead group swelling at times to more than ten riders. Pauwels, as series leader, finally seized the race, attacking late and [...]
by David Evans Zdenek Stybar (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took advantage of Kevin Pauwels’ (Sunweb-Revor) misstep in Sunday’s World Cup in Liévin to take a solo win. The duo, having dropped all of the field, barring Radomir Simunek (BKCP-Powerplus), after just two laps, looked to be preparing for a sprint before Pauwels’ right foot went under [...]
On a course that was so muddy that officials had to shorten it, Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) showed that when the conditions are at their worst, he is at his best. With 2011 Champion Niels Albert, Kevin Pauwels, Sven Vanthourenhout, Tom Meeusen, Bart Aernouts, Rob Peeters and Nys all lined up for the start, the Belgian National [...]
