World Cyclo-cross Champion Erwin Vervecken will get his first taste of America's rapidly improving cyclo-cross domestic scene at the Whitmore races in Southampton, New York on October 6-7. The event will be his first American race since 2001, when he raced in Las Vegas and Gloucester. Back then the American scene was considerably smaller, but now, Vervecken acknowledges, things are different. "You used to hear not so much about cyclo-cross in America," he said. "Now we read about it all the time."
