Wil Matthews captures the action at day one of the 2011 Derby City Cup in Louisville, Kentucky.

“I saw the finish and I was like, 'I'm going to light his ass up in this,' because I was feeling good and had a lot left in my legs and it just didn't get to happen,” said Ryan Trebon. “It's bike racing; it just happened.”

Georgia Gould's #heckleme campaign

The 21st edition of the Cycle-Smart International wrapped up Sunday under bright skies with high intensity racing.

CINNCINNATI, Ohio (VN) — They call it “riding the brown stripe.” It’s the dirty mark of a dialed course, the kind of course you usually only see on Belgian TV and they had it at the final day, the UCI C1 event, of the Cincy3 Cyclocross Festival Sunday at Harbin Park in Fairfield, Ohio.

BOULDER, Colo. (VN) — Following an abnormally slow start this year, former national cyclocross champion Tim Johnson said he could leave Colorado content with a third-place finish at Sunday’s C1 Victory Circle Graphix Boulder Cup.

Belgian Ben Berden and U.S. national champion Katie Compton emerged as winners Sunday at the C1 Boulder Cup cyclocross race in Colorado, the inaugural UCI race held at Boulder's new Valmont Bike Park.

The elite U.S. ’crossers have a week off for the most part, with Sunday’s C2 tilt at Downeast Cyclo-cross in Maine the country’s only UCI contest, and so a small race for a big cause takes center stage. The fifth round of the Utah Cyclocross series runs at Wheeler Farm in Murray on Saturday and for the second year the Cross Out Cancer event fights the disease and recognizes members of the cycling community living through cancer.

For the second consecutive year, October means pink for the women of the Cal Giant-Specialized cyclocross team. Meredith Miller and Teal Stetson-Lee are showing their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with pink skinsuits and an online raffle that ends Friday.

IRVINE, Calif. (VN) — With temperatures nearing 85 degrees and the added bonus of daylight, day 2 of the Spooky Cross would offer a drier track and a little more insight to the racers on the whereabouts of their competitors on the course than Saturday evening’s late-night event. Simply being able to see the course more clearly was also an advantage.

This weekend is a transcontinental battle of the elite cyclocrossers with the split of the USGP of Cyclocross New Belgium Cup running up against the Providence Cyclocross Festival presented by Interbike. A result of the calendar revamp that tore some promoters apart last December, both events will hold C1 races on Saturday, the world’s top classification short of the World Cup. World championship silver medalist Katie Compton (Rabobank) will open her 2011-12 campaign in Colorado on Saturday.

The powerhouse Belgian cyclocross squad Telenet-Fidea lost two of its top riders of a year ago in Zdenek Stybar and Kevin Pauwels this offseason.

BOULDER, Colo. (VN) — Cyclocross world championship silver medalist Katie Compton gained a new teammate this week in Dutch world champion Marianne Vos. Compton (Rabobank-Giant Offroad) said she only heard about the move by Rabobank to back Vos in the news, and was not certain how the relationship would work in in the Dutch bank’s first year supporting an elite women’s cyclocross trade team.

Cyclocross season is in full swing in the U.S., but one man from Massachusetts is easing into fall. Local boy Tim Johnson (Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com) is among the main players at the Gran Prix of Gloucester this weekend, but is looking past October toward a rematch with the Koksijde, Belgium, course that beat him down in 2010. On the other coast, USGP of Cyclocross leader Ryan Trebon (LTS-Felt) will be among the muddy faithful opening another season of the Cross Crusade in Portland on Sunday.
