Riders Bill Anderson, Dan Hansen, Teresa Jarzemkoski, Dean Parker, Mark Thomas and David White represented the Metro area at the UCI Cyclocross Worlds in Belgium. Riders from around the world (but with a healthy representaion from Belgium and the U.S.) contested the very sandy course. Early races were mostly dry, but as the daily drizzle moved in, many riders experienced gunked up shifters and drive train.
Dean Parker looked to be heading for a top ten finish until an asphalt endo just before the thick sand on the beach. Even though this was one of the smoothest running events the news team has witnessed, there were some minor issues with scoring. We expect this event to have an even larger contingent from the KC area next year.
