The Ika are Ichiban in the Japanese Alps of Nobeyama.
American cyclocross racers were spread thin this weekend, chasing points at the 2018 Tabor World Cup, 2018 Supercross in New York, the 2018 Major Taylor Cross Cup in Indiana, and the other Supercross, the Rapha Supercross in Nobeyama, Japan.
The Squid Squad’s trip to Nobeyama looks to have already paid off, as both Sammi Runnels and Anthony Clark took UCI C2 wins on Saturday, just as they did at the West Sacramento GP earlier this season.
Interesting to note that 41-year-old Czech Emil Hekele was racing in Japan while there was a World Cup at home in Tabor, but he ended up second in UCI C2 points on the day.
