Yesterday in Park City Utah the Cyclocross community got a glimpse into how the first months of racing might shake out and how their training has paid off this year. But the race for some top racers had a twist to it.
With this race acting as more of a training race for the top guns, the story we were all following was the Race For A Contract. Raleigh/ Clement offered up two team sports for the first Male and Female finisher "without contract."
Again, according to CyclingDirt.org our local star, Nicole Duke took the victory on the women's side of the race yet it is unclear if she won or was simply just the highest place no-contract racer... more to come later from cyclingdirt.org.
*On the men's side apparently things aren't so clear, from CyclingDirt.org
On the other hand, the Men's contract winner is not so clear. It seems there are different interpretations of just who qualifies for the available team spot. Allen Krughoff finished 5th and many believe he is the deserving recipient of the "best without contract" prize. However, 3rd place finisher, and former World Championship Silver medalist, Jonathan Page, looks to also be in the running.
Part 2 of our interview with the lovely and talented, Nicole Duke is up and this one Nicole talks motorbiking at 7, soccer star in college to her start in mountain biking and downhill racing and finishing up with her cyclocross years. Thanks so much Nicole for giving us an opportunity to tell your story!
