On Saturday, the biggest cyclocross race the US has ever seen happened in Louisville, Kentucky. Reports announced that 9700 people in total swarmed on Eva Bandman Park and Cyclocross Venue to witness history in the making: the first ever non-European World Championships of Cyclocross was here. We spent the races running around cheering for our favorite racers, but after each race, we were hunting down the top racers and the US riders to hear their takes on the course, the race and the crowds. Below, we have a collection of some of our favorites, with more to come!
