This coming December, a contingency of American riders lead by elite rider Ryan Trebon (LTS/ Felt) will descend upon Belgium for another intense two-week period of cyclocross racing. The riders will compete in not only the iconic Christmas-time races in Zolder, Diegem and Loenhout, but will also supplement the big races with some smaller national [...]
by Kat Statman As we all get over our turkey comas and prepare for an off-weekend or an awesome weekend of racing, depending on how “good” or “bad” we are, let’s get down to business in the world of pro cyclocross! Will Boom go Boom again at Namur? Amy Dombroski, the ultimate superfan. Wellens and [...]
by Grant Berry LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – Cyclocross racing is big in Louisville. Big enough to garner the financial and in-person support of “Papa” John Schnatter and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, both of whom came to scope out the venue, cheer on racers, and in the Mayor’s case, hand out podium awards and handshakes or kisses [...]
by Grant Berry LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – In February 2013, cyclocross fans from around the globe will have their attention turned to Louisville, Kentucky, for the World Elite Cyclocross Championships. Today was one giant step towards that event, as the course designers and staff that descended on the Eva Bandman Cyclocross Park in northwestern Louisville stepped up [...]
Cyclocross Magazine’s Cowbell member Taylor Kruse caught up with three of the top American cyclocrossers before and after the 2011 Cincy3 Cyclocross Festival Day 2 to hear the predictions and reflections on the Java Johnny’s UCI race in Middleton, Ohio.
They call it “riding the brown stripe.” It’s the dirty mark of a dialed course, the kind of course you usually only see on Belgian TV, and Cincy3 Cyclocross Festival had it on Sunday at Harbin Park in Fairfield, Ohio. With plenty of muddy patches after a record rainfall on Thursday, every racer of the day took home a little piece of the park. Katie Compton (Rabobank) and Jeremy Powers (Rapha-Focus) took home the trophy, prize money and (most importantly) the big UCI C1 points.
Devou Park, Kentucky — A record one-day rainfall of 1.65 inches Thursday night caused many riders to mount their Limus and Rhino tires in order to tackle the run-off filled mud pits at three points on the course in Northern Kentucky today, the first race of the Cincy3 Cyclocross Festival. Between the quad busting climbs, [...]
by Lee Waldman Compton Makes it Two Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant) proved, once again, why she is a multi-time national champion and World Cup winner as she outclassed some of the world’s best women riders in Day two of the Victory Circle Graphix Boulder Cup. It appeared that her strategy of racing less this year is [...]
by Dave Sheek IRVINE, CALIFORNIA—Sunday morning might have been rough for some Cross After Dark revelers, but with over half-a-day of recovery between the night race and the 3 PM race, competitors were clearly rested enough to put on a great show for spectators. The men’s race ended similarly to yesterday’s, with Ryan Trebon (LTS-Felt) [...]
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA—The Cross After Dark series has been dominated by riders either based in Europe or traveling this weekend to the first World Cup in the Czech Republic. That vacuum stands to be filled by other racers looking to take over the Cross After Dark crown at Spooky Cross, the final race of the race [...]
