I was fortunate enough to make the travels to Louisville, KY this past weekend and experience the World Championships of Cyclocross. What an action-packed and memorable day it was with four races (Juniors, U23, Elite Women, and Elite Men) to take in! More than anything I was proud to “bring the noise” and wave the American flag while racers ripped around a World Championship course for the first time ever on US soil. In the photo above you can see the US flag that I was waiving just in front of the 25m to go sign.
Racing in your own country at an event of this caliber is something that only a few professional US racers will ever get to experience so it was fun to cheer them on course-side. You could feel the significance of this every time a US rider sped by and the crowd noise levels would literally double.
The US did cyclocross proud on the World’s stage and it was incredible to experience it with so many friends and cyclocross enthusiasts who were there to make it all that it was. If you missed it in person, you can still check out the recorded action here: Juniors, U23, Elite Women, Elite Men via YouTube. Enjoy,
