Compton takes first 'cross World Cup win
By Brecht Decaluw=E9
In only her third ever World Cup race, American Katie Compton (Spike
Shooter) took her first victory on the cyclo-cross World Cup circuit.
The 29 year-old totally dominated the women's race in Pinjacker,
Netherlands where local Dutch riders had hoped to continue their
domination from previous rounds
Fandamntastic!

The whole registration, and rider policies look to be quite different
from the past few years, and I have real questions about how many
really pissed off people they are going to have in the end if they
stick to their guns on the rules they've set.
The last two years the policy was "riders first" wherever possible,
and I saw first hand all the work to do everything they could to
accomodate riders, and situations that came up, and that's everyone
from the organizing committee, to BikeReg, to the people working and
volunteering at the race.
I don't get that feel from KC and I really have questions about their
being able to deliver on some of the things they've said.
I sincerely hope I'm totally wrong and it works out great for
everyone because I love Cross, but I'm not hopeful. I've got a front
row seat to how Nat's here worked, and the Verge Series, and how far
everyone involved will go in consideration of the racers and the
experience. I've made it clear that I'm a huge fan of Adam Myerson, JD
Bilodeau, Alan Atwood, Steve Roszko, and the folks here at Nebra, not
just because they are friends, but because of how they treat people.
I don't have any inside information on the KC folks, but what's
posted makes me question things.

I think it's her and Lyne for the North American contingent.
Wanna bet how screwed the KC Cross Nats are? I'm seeing total cluster.

Yes, very cool! Last weekend in Boulder she won both UCI races by
approximately a minute each time. Before you think that means that
the other US women are on par with the Euro-women, keep in mind that
she changed bikes every lap just for the practice. No telling how
large her winning margins would've been had she not spent so much time
in the pits!
