I’d love to see a deep dive into budget breakdown on this.Federation $/medal, avg rider salary (trade team & worlds bonuses), coaches salaries, etc The US needs to figure out how to crack the code on recruiting the nations top talent to CX & providing a system for them to succeed

Love to see @Chris_McGovern and his Cervelo-Orange Living Team competing in Petange today. IMO US U23’s and young Elites gain so much more from racing smaller C2s at the middle to front of the field than getting blown out the back and finishing a shortened race off the lead lap.
Everything that is old is new again.
USA Cycling is partnering up with the EuroCrossAcademy for the 2023-2024 cyclocross season. Stay tuned for updates throughout the season on the juniors racing in Europe. Their first team event will be next weekend at the Troyes CX World Cup.

4 of 6. A flat tire and early crash possibly derailed the predictions. Congratulations to everyone on the podiums! Disclaimer: the Kuypers prediction missed by 1 spot. 🤷🏼

Gotta root for the 🇺🇸 in the MJ. But that race to me is the most wide open of the weekend. 2nd Bold Prediction: Kuypers lands in the top 5 of the ME.

I’m proud to put my name behind this. The talented athletes, fans and sponsors all deserve better. It’s time for the highest up at @usacycling to make the hard decisions to move on and create a whole new system w/ new blood. Real goals, real measurable, real investment - Adam R.
Holy shit! Someone at @usacycling actually listened to me! It’s a World Championships Miracle.
Congrats to @maghroch on the Top 10 today! It’s super impressive to see top level athletes realize when they are depleted, re-boot, create a plan for a comeback and execute that plan to a very high level all in the span of a short 4 month season. Professionalism at its finest!
Congratulations to Isabella and Ava! That’s truly amazing. Huge kudos to Rob, Stimulus/Orbea, and @CyclingCanada for building the support system and executing at the highest level.

TFW you see a group of 30 year old dudes trying to set max power efforts on the bike path, thinking they’re going to be the next big thing. 😂
USA Cycling has unified their pipeline into one cohesive funnel called the Athlete Development Pathway. This new structure provides athletes the foundation they need to take the next step in their development as a cyclist.

Definitely give this a listen!
My takeaways:1) @usacycling needs more boots on the ground in domestic CX. The lack of certainty in some of the responses is mind boggling. 2)The JRM selection is BS. Stick to the criteria! 3) @jessedanthony & I actually agree on something 30 min in

Get your popcorn ready. With my impending exit from the sport, I’m working on the best avenue and timing to voice frustrations, experiences and some hypotheses on what’s holding CX back for future success.
We will again be staying at his family’s place in Izegem in just a few weeks. The support and resources they developed have helped teams/athletes like ours succeed abroad. Our most sincere thank you. Rest In Peace Noël
RIP Noël Dejonckheere. As a pro cyclist he won many races including six Vuelta stages. He then worked as a DS and also hosted many visiting racing cyclists, especially from USA, including time helping US U23 programme, as this post by @freddreier set out freddreier.wordpress.com/201…
Man, this kid is something! 17 seconds faster on lap 4 than the 4 in front of him!
🇺🇸 AJ August finished 5th today in the Junior race in 🇧🇪 Heusden-Zolder. In the first turn he had crashed, his chain came off and was stuck and he had a flat tire so he had to run to the pit. Then he rode the fastest lap in lap 2, 3, 4 and 5. Impressive. 👊 #onetowatch
