(November 12, 2011) Louisville, KY. Huge pro fields descended on Louisville today for Day One of the Exergy USGP of Cyclocross p/b Greenware® - Derby CIty Cup for a thrilling day of top level racing.

In the women's race Katie Compton stormed away from the field to win by a comfortable margin- showing emerging form before returning to racing in Europe. Behind her USGP Series leader Katerina Nash traded blows with French National Champion Caroline Mani until a late race crash took Mani out of contention for the podium. 19 year old Kaitlin Antonneau stormed after Nash giving furious chase and earned herself the third a final spot on the Elite Women's podium.  Nicole Duke continued to dominate in the AVID Shorty Ultimate Holeshot competition once again taking home the prize for the first rider through turn one.

The men's race was equally thrilling with Ryan Trebon and Jeremy Powers establishing a gap over the rest of the field very early into the contest.  The two traded blows the entire race while behind them a resurgent Tim Johnson gave chase to finish a strong third - his first podium finish at the USGP in 2011.  Geoff Kabush launched himself out of the charging chase group to finish fourth while Danny Summerhill rounded out the top five.  Belgian Ben Berden claimed the Avid Shorty Ulitmate Holeshot.

(October 9, 2011) Fort Collins, CO.  The rains stopped and the sun dried the track to a tacky mud at Day Two of the New Belgium Cup creating ideal conditions for epic battles on the slopes of the USPG course in Fort Collins.

Katie Compton (RaboBank / Giant)came storming back to claim day two of the USGP in a thrilling neck and neck battle with Katerina Nash (Luna) that illustrated that both women will be forces to reckon with on the international stage this year.  French National Champion Caroline Mani took the AVID Shorty Ultimate Holeshot - setting up a brutally fast first lap that quickly separated the day's contenders from the field.  Mani, Nicole Duke, Compton, Nash and Meredith Miller, Mical Dyck and Sue Butler made up the Elite front group.  Nash and Compton separated from the group in the Zipp barrier section and never looked back.  Meredith Miller roared away from the chasers and established what appeared to be an untouchable spot on the third step of the podium.
