Fontana prepares to defend Italian cyclo-cross title in January

After securing a bronze medal at the cross country World Championships in Hafjell, Noway in💯 September, Italian cyclo-cross champio🌞n Marco Aurelio Fontana is recovered and ready to start his 2014-2015 cyclo-cross season. The Cannondale Factory Racing rider will compete in a series of national and international races to help prepare for his title defence at the Italian National Championships in Pezze di Greco in southern Italy on January 11.

“My goal for 2015 is to be strong during the mountain bike season,” Fontana said. “Cyclo-cross is an ideal preparation, for this reason I am choosing some competitions to parti🐎cipate in duri🔯ng December and January months. I am looking forward to seeing the fans on the race circuit again, and feeling the rhythm of my best days in my legs.”

Lack of funding and increased UCI fees end Baystate Cyclocross Weekend

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Baystate Cyclocross Weekend held annually in Sterling, Massachusetts, will not continue as a UC♒I race in 2015 because of 💫a lack of sponsorship funding and the increasing costs associated with putting on an event of that status. Tom Stevens is the current organizer of the race, which has been in existence for 31 years. It has been a UCI-sanctioned event for 10 years.

“It’s unfortunate to lose a UCI race, but it’s good that they know in advance,” Cycle-Smart International organizer Adam Myerson said in an interview with DirtWire.TV. “The bar just keeps getting raised every year, in terms of what the minimum cost is to put a UCI race on, and it’s more and more expensive. If Tom doesn’t have the sponsors and can’t rely on a thousand racers every day to cover the costs ... he’s been doing this for a long time and it’s OK if he doesn’t want to do♔ this anymore.”

Myerson believes that race could still continue as a non-UCI event “It certainly won’t be a UCI race next year,” he said. “I think this race could still survive as a local race, it would still get a good turn-out, if you remꩲove a lot of the overhead that goes into the level of production required to be a UCI race. It would be one of the most popular.”

The last set of Baystate Cyclocross Week🦂end🐓 UCI events were a success with Ellen Noble (JAM Fund/NCC) winning the elite women's races on both days, and Curtis White (Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld) winning the elite men's race on Saturday and Kerry Werner (Optum Pro Cycling CX Team p/b KBS) winning on Sunday.
