LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY – Day One of the 2012 UCI Masters Cyclocross World Championships is in the books. Deteriorating weather led to epic and grueling conditions for the racers competing in the opening day “seeding heats.” These seeding heats determine the racers start position for the weekend’s World Championship races.
Rain and heavy mud developed into snow and windy conditions. Originally scheduled as three lap heats, the heavy mud and slippery mud saw riders turning in long lap times, resulting in a change to two grueling laps.
The winners of the seeding heats today were:
- Men 40- 44 Heat 1: Pete Webber (USA)
- Men 40-44 Heat 2: Brandon Dwight (USA)
- Men 45-49 Heat 1: Donald Myrah
- Men 45-49 Heat 2: Erik Teck (Belgium)
- Men 50- 54 Heat 1: Kevin Hines (USA)
- Men 50-54 Heat 2: Stephen Tilford (USA
Racing resumes Friday at 9:30am Friday morning with seeding heats. The first Championship race of the weekend will be contested at 1:00pm when the 30-34 year old men race.
Admission to the races is free to public with a $3 parking charge. For complete race schedule and more information about the 2012 and 2013 events please visit www.louisville2013.com
Eva Bandman Park is located at 1701 River Road, Louisville, KY 40206.
