One of the highlights of this weekend's cyclocross racing in North America will be the Capital Cross Classic in Reston, Virginia on November 27. Part of the $30,000 Verge Mid Atlantic Cyclocross Series (MAC), Sunday's race will be the last chance for racers in the Mid-Atlantic region to score all-important UCI points before the USCF national championships.
Verge MAC Media Director Ken Getchell believes it should be a wide-open race: "The riders who have been dominating this year's UCI races - Trebon, Wicks, Wells and so on - are not coming to Washington. That makes this race absolutely crucial for racers chasing UCI points. Because they can score the big points, instead of fighting for a few table scraps mid-field, any east-coast UCI racer that doesn't show up for this race is just giving points away."
