Kaiser ready for U23 'cross Worlds debut

American Cody Kaiser (Cal Giant Berry Farms) is showing promise in only his first year in the Under-23 cyclo-cross category. A former Junior national champion in cyclo-cross, Kaiser placed sixth at the US cyclo-cross national championships in the U23 ranks against competitors mostly two years his senior and has been named to the National Team. But while his fitness may be finely tuned for the season's grand finale of the UCI World Cyclo-cross Championships this Saturday, his mental edge for European racing continues to be a work in progress.
