Team Rock Racing could be affected as Rock & Republic tightens its belt
Rock Racing, the team that advertised “Here to Stay” as its rallying cry, may feel the pinch next year as its primary sponsor, fashion company Rock & Republic, tightens its belt. An email from within the company this week detailed layoffs within the luxury jean company as well as the cycling team. Team spokesman Sean Weide confirmed that he had heard about the layoffs but could not elaborate. “We are aware of the situation,” Weide said Monday afternoon, “but we don't want to put out any false information right now concerning Rock Racing, either.”

Trebon overpowers star-studded field to win second ‘cross crown
Ryan Trebon (Kona) proved himself the strongest man on the course Sunday in Kansas City, powering to a second national cyclocross championship on a bitter cold but dry day. Trebon's win on a course that many said suited his strengths to a T was impressive but not a huge surprise, and continued the run of national titles held by just four men since 2000; Trebon, Jonathan Page, Todd Wells and Tim Johnson have passed around the stars and stripes jersey like an Illinois Senate seat.
Compton solos to fifth straight ‘cross crown
Katie Compton (Spike Shooter) raced to her fifth national cyclocross title on Sunday in a chilly, windswept Kansas City. The course was dry, the temperature low and the wind brisk as the women lined up at Tiffany Springs Park. Rebecca Wellons (Ridley Factory Team) scored the hole shot with Compton second and Deidre Winfield (Velo Bella–Kona) third. The defending champ hovered in second place on the climb, then went to the front and gave it the gas.
