Absence of Cyclocross World Cup in US ‘a step back’ but could boost USCX

A revised 12-race schedule did not include a stop in the rural countryside of Waterloo, Wisconsin, and elite riders have responded with mixed emotions, including that it could be seen as “a step back in the progression of our sport”.
