Bessette, Johnson and Powers to Belgium

North American 'cross stars Jeremy Powers, Tim Johnson, and Lyne Bessette will head to Europe for the month of January to prepare for the World Championships with their Cyclocrossworld.com team, the team announced at its launch this month. The three riders, all of whom have impressive palmares, will be based in Belgium.

"New for this year is our foray into the European cross scene," said Thorne. "The riders will be based in cross crazy Belgium for the month of January. While in Europe they'll be contesting the remaining World Cups before the biggest race of the year – the World Championships in Treviso Italy. It will be quite an undertaking this year, but we are all looking forward to the challenge and we really appreciate the support."
