    American preparing for World Championships in Koksijde

    Meredith Miller (Cal Giant-Specialized) has headed overseas to contest the two opening UCI Cyclo-cross World Cups in the Czech Republic. The first is in Plzen on October 16 followed by one in Tabor on October 23. The American is hoping to test her legs on the international stage earlier than usual in order to prepare for the world championships in Koksijde, Belgium.

    Cyclo-cross racers have a unique opportunity to preview the Worlds course at the Koksijde World Cup on November 26 before heading back for the championships on January 29.

    "I want to race in Czech to see where I am at and to try and get some points to help me qualify for the worlds team. I want to get over there and get my feet wet earlier this year," Miller told Cyclingnews, adding that she intends to return to Europe for the Koksijde World Cup to get some experience on the course.

    Between trips to Europe, Miller will continue to compete in the Exergy US Gran Prix of Cyclo-cross (USGP). Recently, she had two podium finishes at the Planet Bike Cup in Sun Prairie and New Belgium Cup in Fort Collins. The series events provide top-level racing where Miller has an opportunity to compete with the likes of Czech National Champion Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team), who is leading the standings, and US National Champion Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant Offroad), among others.

    In 2010, Miller was the highest placed American in 12th at the UCI World Championships held in Tabor, Czech Republic. This year, she placed a respectable 27th place behind other silver medalist Compton and Amy Dombroski, who placed 26th in St. Wendel, Germany.

    "I hope my chances of making the worlds team will be good," Miller said. "Considering my history of going the last two years, hopefully if I am riding sufficiently, I should be able to go back again. My whole goal is to go to worlds and that is why I am going early to Europe now, so that I can get over there and get the experience."

    Miller, a former national champion on the road, has traditionally split her season between road racing and cyclo-cross. Following the world championships, she will take a break before starting a more relaxed road racing schedule that will include a series of mountain bike races to help stay in top shape for cyclo-cross season next fall.

    "I haven't taken a very good break in the last couple of years and I am definitely going to need to do that," Miller said. "I will look at racing on the road a little more part-time so that I can add mountain biking to it and give myself a little more practice with skills for cyclo-cross. I think that is where I need a lot of work still. It is tough to have to wait until August to do that. I will have to mix it up a bit more next year."

    Belgians add one after Nys victory in Plzen

    The Belgian elite men's team will line up in the second round of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup with nine men thanks to Sven Nys's victory this weekend in Plzen. Nys now gets an automatic berth as leader of the series.

    Vincent Baestaens was added to the squad as its ninth man, while Sven Vanthourenhout (Landbouwkrediet), who was injured in a first lap crash in Plzen, will be replaced by his cousin Dieter Vanthourenhout of BKCP-Powerplus.

    Baestaens, in his first year as an elite, was the winner of two World Cups and two Superprestige races as an U23 last season, and while his countrymen were in Plzen, he won the Cyclo-cross de Villarcayo in Spain on Saturday.

    The team has yet to announce which riders would serve as reserves for the Tabor World Cup.

    Tabor marks the opening round of the Under 23 men and Junior World Cups. The Belgians named teams for all four fields.

    Belgian team for Tabor World Cup:

    Elite Men: Bart Aernouts, Niels Albert, Vincent Baestaens, Tom Meeusen, Sven Nys, Kevin Pauwels, Dieter Vanthourenhout, Klaas Vantornout and Bart Wellens;
    Women: Sanne Cant, Nancy Bober, Nicolle De Bie–Leyten, Hilde Quintens, Katrien Thijs, Joyce Vanderbeken, Ellen Van Loy.
    Under 23: Sven Beelen, Wietse Bosmans, Vinnie Braet, Tim Merlier, Laurens Sweeck and Gianni Vermeersch;
    Juniors: Quinten Hermans, Daan Hoeyberghs, Daan Soete, Wout Van Aert, Matthias Van de Velde, Yorben Van Tichelt;
     

  • Nys, Compton top season's first UCI 'cross rankings

    Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) gets his World Cup campaign off to a flying start.

    Change to ranking tabulation now in effect

    Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) and Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team) picked up where they left off last 'cross season, at the top of the UCI rankings.

    The UCI released the first rankings of the 2011-2012 cyclo-cross season on Tuesday, and the tabulations represent one of the governing body's changes for this current season. Last year, every rider started the 'cross season with a clean slate of points and added them as they were earned throughout the season. Going forward points are good for one year and are then removed from a rider's tally after 365 days have passed.

    As a result, each rider started the 2011-2012 season with their points total from the final tabulation of last season. Any points earned in September through October 17 of 2010 have since been lost, while any points earned this season in the same time frame have been added. With relatively few races conducted so far, and only one World Cup, the overall results have remained mostly unchanged.

    On the men's side, Sven Nys tops the rankings with 2,170 points, 160 more than compatriot Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor) and 182 ahead of Belgian champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus). Belgium dominates the upper echelons of the rankings with six of the top eight positions.

    The most important result for Nys thus far this season has been his victory in the season's first UCI World Cup in Plzen, Czech Republic. The points-heavy World Cups are extremely important for establishing a high grid position on the start line, and Nys actually put more daylight between himself and his competitors in the rankings as he finished eight places higher this year.

    On the women's side, 2010-2011 UCI rankings leader Katie Compton kept her spot atop the standings, albeit with a slender 60-point margin over second-placed Sanne van Paassen (Brainwash). Helen Wyman (Kona), buoyed by her unbeaten streak of races in the United States to open her season, moved into third place overall, 158 points down on Compton.

    Compton started her season later than usual this season, but has won two of three races entered, most recently the World Cup opener in Plzen.

    Belgium dominates the men's nation rankings with 6,168 points, 3,330 more than France and 3,457 greater than the Czech Republic. For the women's nation rankings the Netherlands holds first position with 3,958 points. The Czech Republic holds second place with 2,872 points, only five more than the United States in third.

  • Philadelphia Cyclocross School provides unique opportunity

    Swiss 'crossers experience "cultural exchange via cyclo-cross"

    Among the elite cyclo-cross teams competing in the Northeast is a Philadelphia-based squad with a unique moniker and mission: the Philadelphia Cyclocross School. The team's website banner provides a succinct purpose for the team, "cultural exchange via cyclo-cross", and for the past three seasons several talented, young Swiss cyclo-cross riders have raced the fall 'cross season in the northeast US while being hosted by families in the Philadelphia area.

    These aren't simply riders who venture to the US in search of UCI points, it's become an opportunity for the Swiss riders to spend 12 weeks hosted by a family and take an active, participatory role in the mentoring of American Junior riders on the team.

    The impetus for the team's creation came in the spring of 2009 from a seemingly innocuous email to the MAC (Mid-Atlantic Cyclocross) Series listserv, the gist of which was, "Swiss bike racer wants to come race in America and learn English". David Berson, the Philadelphia Cyclocross School directeur sportif, still had fond memories of a several-month stint spent racing in Europe in the early '90s - immersion in a foreign culture and friendships formed which still last to this day - and decided to reach out to the author of the email, Valentin Scherz.

    "Honestly, I had no idea of the quality or level of this rider," Berson told Cyclingnews. "I didn't know much about him. I contacted him to make sure he was a good guy and made the decision that if you want to come we'll put you up. I'm no longer racing but I still care about the sport, I'm enthusiastic about cycling, so it was a chance for me to kind of get back to the races with him and go from there.

    "Valentin Scherz came over and lived at my house, went to all the races, but was still part of his trade team in Europe. I had a lot of friends, people were very impressed and really liked him. He would help people at the local 'cross practices, offer advice, and was a very approachable, nice, super-generous guy."

    Scherz not only won the MAC Series, but his success both on and off the bike laid the groundwork for the 2010-2011 season and the inception of the Philadelphia Cyclocross School program.

    "Friends of mine in the [cycling] industry volunteered that if you need anything let me know," said Berson. "That actually put a seed in my mind. Valentin had a successful year, he won the MAC, and we were talking about the next season. Valentin had to go into the military for the beginning of basic training which was for four months. He was kind of bummed out about it and he said 'I'd love to come back and race but due to family pressure and things like that it's got to be a real program. I can't just live at your house and race'."

    Enter Jed Kornbluh, the Philadelphia Cyclocross School business manager. "I had worked in the bike industry for most of my life and left about 3.5 years ago to go into a different venture and at the time Valentin came here I was promoting Staten 'Cross," Kornbluh told Cyclingnews. "I saw some great potential in this guy and thanks to some contacts I had in the industry I was able to talk to a few friends. Dave and I already had the name PCS, which used to be our old club team back in the '90s, Philadelphia Cycle and Sport, so we just turned that into the Philadelphia Cyclocross School.

    "From there we told Valentin to find another rider. He was approached at the MAC banquet by the Meier family, whose son Julz was a Junior racer, and they were really interested in hosting a rider should we grow the program. That was kind of the impetus for us thinking we can actually build a real team."

    "We gave Valentin some pretty strict criteria: basically we need someone like you who wants to participate with a family, learn things, and share the whole cultural exchange," said Berson. "My wife loved it, my kids loved Valentin, it was a wonderful experience. So we said we don't want another rider who's just going to come over here looking for UCI points and a free ride at the races. It's got to be a participative, sharing exchange."

    The program again struck gold in the 2010-2011 season with first and second overall in the MAC series, heightened support from both the cycling industry and cyclo-cross community alike, all punctuated by Scherz's 7th place finish in the under 23 'cross world championships in St. Wendel, Germany.

    "Valentin Scherz proved you can come here and race a good, aggressive, strong season and go back to Europe and maybe not kick butt in the early World Cups over there, but ride well and train and pull it all together for the world championships which is really the end goal for every 'cross racer over there," said Berson.

    "We were just absolutely thrilled after that race," said Kornbluh, "but we knew that might be the end for him. Valentin wanted to grow his career, try to get a pro contract, but he decided to follow his other dreams and went off to medical school."

    Scherz, however, made rider recommendations for the current season and three new Swiss riders are currently flying the Philadelphia Cyclocross School colors: Eric Brüngger, 21, Lukas Winterberg, 23, and Lukas Müller, 19. The trio have two American teammates in the elite ranks, Patrick Bradley, 21 and Matt Spohn, 27, plus three Juniors: Julz Meier, Cole Reece and Jimmy Maurer.

    "We clothe them, they get bikes, they get wheels, they get a lot of accessories, we transport them to rides, we pit for them, and we make sure their tires get glued." said Kornbluh.

    The squad is having another banner season, with wins in MAC events plus high placings in UCI 'cross races in the northeast, increased local sponsorship from industry partners like Cyfac and Revolution Wheelworks interested in growing the sport, but more importantly the communal aspect of the program has once again blossomed.

    "We like to think of these guys as part of our family," said Kornbluh. "We eat our meals together, we travel together, we spend a ton of time with these guys.

    "There's so much more about cyclo-cross in terms of community. The race is only the sideshow. It's really all about the day, the event - warming up, pre-riding the course, discussing tire pressure - all the things that build a strong relationship."

    "You go to the races and the Swiss riders are looking after the Juniors, helping to prepare for the races," said Berson. "They're pitting for them, teaching these kids about preparation, about routines, and giving advice during the races. From the sidelines it's great to watch, down the road these guys are going to be friends for life. That's probably the best part of the program, for me to know that."

    Ultimately, Berson and Kornbluh would like to see their program grow into one of the premier 'cross development squads in the country, with the end goal to have US riders travel to Europe in the latter portion of the season and live with their European teammates.

    "We're trying to figure out how we can grow this program without digging too far into our own pockets and without putting too much pressure on the host families," said Kornbluh. "We want to grow this, we want to become one of the bigger or biggest U23 programs in North America, but we know there's some limitations there.

    "We want to be able to send our riders back to Europe. We need to grow our budget, we need to get more financial sponsors involved, but that would be the ultimate goal: to get our guys through nationals and then send them back to Europe to race up until Worlds."

  • Pauwels, Nash take World Cup lead in Tabor

    Katerina Nash took over the World Cup lead in Tabor

    Van der Haar, Van der Poel lead youngsters

    Four new leaders emerged in the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup after the second round for elite men and women, and the opening round for under 23 men and juniors.

    Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor) claimed a dominant solo victory in Tabor, Czech Republic over world champion Zdenek Stybar and Klaas Vantornout to overtake Plzen winner Sven Nys in the standings.

    Nys and Stybar are now tied in the rankings, 15 points shy of Pauwels, who took third in the opening race in Plzen. Klaas Vantornout and French champion Francis Mourey are tied for fourth, a further 15 points in arrears.

    The elite women's rankings were turned on end with the absence of Plzen winner, Katie Compton. The American returned home for a family event, and gave up the white jersey to Katerina Nash, who scored a brilliant solo win only 20km from her home town.

    Compton slipped to seventh, while Dutch rider Sanne Van Paassen, second in Tabor, climbed into second ahead of Daphny Van Den Brand.

    Under 23 world champion Lars Van der Haar resumed his dominance in the first round for the espoirs. The Dutch rider soloed in ahead of Italian Elia Silvestri to take the World Cup lead, while his compatriot Mike Teunissen lies in third.

    First year junior Mathieu Van der Poel may have been a surprise name at the top of the junior men's race, but he showed his elite heritage as son of cyclo-cross champion Adrie Van der Poel and the grandson of legend Raymond Poulidor in taking a commanding solo victory in Tabor.

    Van der Poel leads Quentin Jauregui (France) and Daan Hoeyberghs of Belgium in the World Cup after Tabor.

    Big shuffle in Junior men's standings after their first World Cup

    The UCI released its second cyclo-cross rankings of the season on Tuesday, following a weekend in which all categories - elite men, elite women, under 23 men and junior men - raced a World Cup round in Tabor, Czech Republic.

    While Sven Nys (Landbouwkrediet) relinquished his World Cup lead to compatriot Kevin Pauwels (Sunweb-Revor), the 35-year-old Belgian continues to lead the UCI rankings with 2,170 points, 120 more than second-placed Pauwels. The top six overall remained unchanged, with Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus), Zdenek Stybar (Quick Step), Francis Mourey (FDJ) and Klaas Vantornout (Sunweb-Revor) holding third through sixth respectively. Bart Wellens (Telenet-Fidea) moved into seventh position, flip-flopping with Bart Aernouts (Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team), who now holds eighth. Dutchman Lars van der Haar (Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team) remains in ninth while Tom Meeusen (Telent-Fidea) makes his first appearance in the top-10 this season at 10th place.

    With seven riders ranked in the top-10, it's no surprise that Belgium continues to dominate the men's national standings with 6,124 points. France remains a distant second with 2,858 points, followed by the Czech Republic in third with 2,688 points.

    For the elite women, Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant Off-Road Team) continues her reign atop the standings with 1,670 points, despite skipping the Tabor, Czech Republic round of the World Cup. Katerina Nash (Luna Pro Team), the winner in Tabor, moves into second overall, 120 points down on Compton, while Sanne van Paassen (Brainwash) drops one spot to third, tied on points with Nash. British champion Helen Wyman (Kona) dropped one position to fourth with 1,442 points.

    The Netherlands continues to lead the women's nations ranking with 3,898 points. The Czech Republic and United States remain in second and third with 2,934 and 2798 points respectively.

    The junior men's ranking saw the biggest shuffle as the riders contested their first World Cup round of the season in Tabor, Czech Republic. Unlike the elite categories which utilize a rolling, 365-day points tallying formula, the junior riders start the season with a clean slate and accumulate points as the season progresses. As a result, it comes as no surprise that those riders who dominated the World Cup round would shake-up the season rankings.

    Dutchman Mathieu Van Der Poel, the winner in Tabor, now tops the standings with 44 points while runner-up in the World Cup opener, Quentin Jauregui (France), jumped from fifth to second overall with 32 points. Wout Van Aert (Belgium) climbed one position to third, with 18 points, while compatriot Daan Hoeyberghs leapt from 17th to fourth with 17 points.

    Previous leader Andrew Dillman (United States) didn't contest the World Cup opener and now holds seventh overall with 16 points.

  • Compton returns to US domestic ‘cross in Boulder

    Katherine Compton (Rabobank - Giant Off-Road Team) takes the win.

    Winter storm expected to pass before weekend racing

    After successful campaign at the UCI World Cup openers in the Czech Republic, American cyclo-cross talents have returned home to resume the domestic calendar at the Colorado Cross Classic and Victory Circle Graphix Boulder Cup, both held in Boulder Colorado this weekend. The elite women will showcase recent World Cup #1 winner and UCI world standings leader Katie Compton (Rabobank-Giant Offroad).

    "I am looking forward to the racing, it'll be nice to load up the car instead of pack a bike for flying," Compton told Cyclingnews. "It'll be good to get some sand practice in on Saturday and I'm excited to race Valmont Park on Sunday since I haven’t been able to ride there yet. I'm sure the courses will be very different and the racing hard. We'll also get to see some friends and have a relaxing weekend after the racing and that is always a good time."

    Compton, the US National Champion, won the opening World Cup held in Plzen two weeks ago and is currently leading the UCI world ranking with 1670 points, based on the newly instated 12-month rolling points system. Her nearest opponent, Czech National Champion Katerina Nash, is leading the World Cup ranking after her victory in the second World Cup in Tabor, and is currently ranked second in the UCI world ranking with a total of 1550 points.

    Nash dominated the early domestic calendar with a series of six consecutive victories, her winning streak was ended by Compton during day two of the Exergy Cyclo-cross US Gran Prix New Belgium Cup in Fort Collins. Nash is not currently registered to compete during the Boulder weekend. However, notable competitors in attendance are Georgia Gould (Luna Pro Team), Nicole Duke (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com), Caroline Mani (SRAM) and Sue Butler (River City Bicycles).

    "I'm not sure Katerina is racing in Boulder but if she is that will be great," Compton said. "I think all the US girls have stepped it up this year and gotten faster which bodes well for good results in Europe. I think we all need the stronger competition to improve and keep the racing exciting. I really enjoyed the racing in Fort Collins and hope it will be that hard again."

    On the men’s side, Swiss National Champion Christian Heule (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com), who is currently ranked 11th on the UCI world standing, will be in attendance along with his teammates Tim Johnson and Jamie Driscoll.

    Exergy USGP leader Ryan Trebon (LTS-Felt) will also be on the hunt for another victory after his series of strong performances during the early season. He will no doubt be challenged by riders like Geoff Kabush (Maxxis-Rocky Mountain) and Jeremy Powers (Rapha-Focus), who recently placed inside the top ten at the opening World Cup and is ranked 15th in the world standings.

    The Colorado Cross Classic will kick off the weekend with a C2 event at the notorious Boulder Reservoir on Saturday, October 29. The course was recently cut out with a Bobcat along parts of the park and the ‘Boulder Beach’ in an effort to resemble the sandy terrain of this year’s UCI World Championships held in Koksijde, Belgium.

    "We custom-built a trail through the main field at the Boulder Reservoir, opening some ridiculously fun cyclo-crossing," Bouplon said. "The city of Boulder has been amazingly supportive. We’ve also been allowed to incorporate a large amount of rideable sand, at least semi-rideable, that will prepare our riders for the World Championships."

    The riders will reunite at the C1 Victory Circle Graphix Boulder Cup held on Sunday, October 30 at the newly opened Valmont Bike Park. Racers can expect a challenging three-kilometer course that plays off of the park’s steep run-ups and grass terrain.

    "The course features a massive 20-foot wide and 100-foot long staircase by the beer garden that the riders have to navigate on each lap," said event promoter, Chris Grealish. "Most of the course is viewable from the hillside and it is an amazing course put together by the city of Boulder and the private fundraising effort that we have done here to make this park a reality."

    The nearby city of Denver recently got its first winter storm with snow accumulation between three and five inches along with sub-freezing temperatures. Boulder itself typically has an unpredictable weather pattern, however, the snow is expected to melt and the sun to shine with temperatures reaching back into mid-60 Fahrenheit before the weekend’s events.

    "The winter storm, we’ve gotten about three inches of snow so far," Bouplon said. "It will serve to further smooth out the course, reduce dust, and make everyone bring all of their tire options. The glory of Boulder is that Saturday might be a file-tread day."

  • Johnson focused on 'cross national title in Madison

    American Tim Johnson led the chase group early on

    American aims for stronger second half of the season

    Former multiple-time US cyclo-cross champion, Tim Johnson (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld.com) is aiming for stronger and more consistent performances during the second half of the domestic racing season. The New England native is hoping that his planned slow start will pay off with a win at the national championships held from January 4-8 in Madison, Wisconsin, and even further down the line at the 2013 UCI Elite World Championships in Louisville, Kentucky.

    "I will try to take Madison for what it is and try and win," Johnson told Cyclingnews. "Being the national champion is huge, and I've been lucky enough to do it a few times, but I know what I am missing. I need to try and pull it all together this year to try and get that jersey again.

    "I am trying to take advantage of the way our sport is now, with it growing and Worlds coming to the US, I want to get to Worlds in Louisville in the best possible position," he said. "I want to try to be more competitive at the bigger races now instead of showing up and treating them as an adventure, where trying to pull out a result was secondary. Now, I want more. I want to try and be better."

    Johnson attributed his mediocre performances during the start of the domestic cyclo-cross season to a major change of focus. He was well-known for his dedication to competing predominantly on the road during the spring and summer months and transitioning to a full-time cyclo-cross schedule during the autumn and winter months. This year, he took a step back from road racing and welcomed a lengthy recovery period before beginning his new 'cross-only training regimen.

    "The hardest part of the last six weeks has been being okay with things," Johnson said. "My season started slower because of what I did or didn't do during the summer. The hardest part was adjusting my expectations from what I was able to do the last few years, which was to go to a race, be competitive and go for the win. Theoretically, I knew that I was not going to be as competitive as before, but going to the race and not performing like before was really hard, a lot harder than I expected."

    Johnson's results this season, thus far, have included a series of respectable top 10 results at CrossVegas, Exergy Cyclo-cross US Gran Prix events Planet Bike Cup and Fort Collins, along with the Gran Prix of Gloucester. However, top 10 performances are a slight set back from his notoriously consistent podium finishes during the last few seasons.

    "I have never been one to do the big peak for things," Johnson said. "It takes a lot of sacrifice and extra awareness. I've always just raced and tried to do my best, all the time, but I was flat and expectations were the same all the time. To show up to a race and not be competitive [for the victory] was really tough. As an athlete you get judged all the time, what you do, how you look, how you perform and people forget very quickly what you have done in the past."

    Johnson's season took a turn for the better during his first trip overseas in mid-October at the UCI World Cup openers in the Czech Republic. He placed inside the top 20 in Plzen after being caught behind traffic due to a camera man standing on course. He rode into a second top 20 performance during the second world cup in Tabor.

    "I'm not happy with it but I am surprised," Johnson said. "I felt like I had a couple of good races but I see where I could have improved and where I could have done better. I went to the World Cups after a couple of crapy races domestically, so to finish up the first half of the season with two solid World Cups, I feel like I know what I can do for the next half of the season before nationals."

    Johnson will next compete at the Colorado 'Cross Classic and Victory Circle Graphix this weekend in Boulder, Colorado, the Cincinnati UCI3 Cyclo-cross Festival held from November 4-6 in Ohio, and the Exergy USGP Derby City Cup held November 12-13 in Louisville, Kentucky. He will conclude his domestic season at the national championships in January.

    "I'm looking for better results," Johnson said. "I have a handle on my training, I know where I am weak and I know what I need to work on. My fitness is getting better and I have more to spend now, more ammo at the races."

    Following the conclusion of the domestic cyclo-cross season, Johnson will travel back overseas to compete in the final two World Cups held on January 15 in Lievin, France, and January 22 in Hoogerheide, Netherlands. He will end his season at the world championships held from January 28-29 in Koksijde, Belgium, where he will have realistic performance expectations.

    "This year's Worlds in Koksijde are not exactly my kind of race," Johnson said. "I did the World Cup there last year without good fitness and it really kicked my ass. If you show up to a course with bad legs it exposes you immediately. I think having nationals as a goal along with finishing the season strong is my overall goal. That day at Worlds in Koksijde will be to try and get as much as I can out of it."
