Powers makes clean sweep of Louisville weekend

Jeremy Powers (Rapha-Focus) put an exclamation point on the first half of his cyclo-cross season with his second victory in as many days at the US Gran Prix of Cyclocross Derby City Cup. Once again the reigning US champion dropped his rivals to win alone, this time from more than three laps out, while Belgium's Ben Berden (Raleigh-Clement) took the fierce battle for second place as he held off Tim Johnson (Cannondale p/b Cyclocrossworld) by one second in the sprint finale 21 seconds in arrears of Powers.
