Well, the longest day ever. It’s Sunday morning and I have finally finished editing the photos. Yesterday was so manic and so busy that what we normally do over the course of two days had to be squeezed into just one. So many photos and so many stories but they have to come a bit later. A few photos for now and I’ll come back with a wrap-up as soon as managed to catch some sleep.

Owen Logan rides in the last lap of the cyclocross World Championships in Louisville, Kentucky
There must have been an enormous amount of pressure on Owen Logan, who, based on his form during the season, was supposed to perform really well. Though he missed the podium, he’s still the biggest promise of American cross.

Messy business: Katerina Nash had a mechanical problem in the finishing straight, the front mech dropped the chain and she had more than 50 meters to cover…
… but Lucie Chainel-Lefevre exploited her mechanical and grabbed the third place.

Hope she didn’t catch the cold by the end of the day

Wietse Bosmans started strong
Mike Teunissen and Wout van Aert chased Bosmans but they didn’t seem to be able to bridge the gap.

Wout van Aert

Teunissen closed the gap on Bosmans, overtook him and never looked back. Bosmans seemed demoralised that the rainbow jersey seemed to elude him once again.

Worth googling the video of this bit of the medal ceremony: Pat McQuaid was thoroughly boo-ed

    Amazing job! I can imagine how hard it was…covering all races in 1 day in such weather condition. Nobody does it better. Chapeau & thank you.

    Absolutely stunning ! If they create a category for CX photographers I’m sure you’ll get the rainbow jersey ! 😉
