Today, on the first day of Louisville Nationals, local amateur racers without National Championship hopes, Elite title contenders and top Masters seized an opportunity to test out the 2018 Cyclocross National Championships V2 course through the non-title races.
Frozen, icy course conditions greeted the Tuesday morning racers, with many racers hitting the deck, but the afternoon sun thawed areas it could reach and made for faster lap times.
In the end, the day brought Jeremy Powers his first victory of the season as he won the 23-39 non-title race by nearly three and a half minutes. Powers told Cyclocross Magazine he was using the opportunity to practice on the course at race pace, at least until he started lapping racers. Stay tuned for our interview.
Molly Cameron took the 40-49 men’s race by over a minute, in front of a stacked field that included UCI racers Jared Nieters and Adam Myerson.
On the women’s side, Jenny Wojewoda won the Women’s 23-39 race by more than thirty seconds over Emily Molden, while Julie Robertson-Zivin took the Women’s 40+ race ahead of local Louisville Kristie Arend.
JW Miller from Madison took the Men’s 50+ race.
The women completed three laps, while the men did four. All winning race times were between 30 and 34 minutes.
Stay tuned for our interview with 23-39 winner Jeremy Powers.
