Two more American riders have given up their spots to compete at the upcoming UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Heusden-Zolder at the end of January. Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld riders Ryan Trebon and Emma White were automatically selected to compete for the US national team in the elite men’s and under-23 women’s events, respectively, but they have declined.
Jonathan Page (Page-Fuji) and Jamey Driscoll (Raleigh Clement) were also automatic selection who opted not to go last week.
Trebon just returned to cyclo-cross racing after recovering from a back injury. He placed seventh at the Nationals. Page cited recent health problems as his reason for declining his spot, while Driscoll said he opted not to go because of a ‘disappointing’ national championships in Asheville on January 10, where he placed sixth.
USA Cycling released the list of replacements and the full rosters for the elite men, elite women, under-23 men, under-23 women and junior men on Friday.
Anthony Clark (Squid Bikes), Jeremy Durrin (Neon Velo Cycling Team) and Yannick Eckmann (Maxxis-Shimano) will now compete in the elite men’s events, replacing Page, Driscoll and Trebon. The roster also includes automatic selections Stephen Hyde (Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld), Allen Krughoff (Noosa Pro Cyclocross), Travis Livermon and US cyclo-cross champion Jeremy Powers (Aspire Racing.)
Laurel Rathbun (Raleigh Clement) will replace White on the under-23 women’s team. The rest of the team will include Allison Arensman (Twenty16 Pro Cycling), Hanna Arensman (Twenty16 Pro Cycling), Ellen Noble (JAM Fund-NCC-Vittoria), Emma Swartz (Trek Cyclocross Collective) and Sofia Gomez Villafane (Summit -Competitive Cyclist).
