“We are really excited to be able to put together a cross program of this size and caliber just prior to the launch of our new cyclocross site, www.cyclocrossracing.com” states CyclocrossRacing.com owner Erik Viafore. 
“ It represents a great opportunity to work with some of the best cross
riders in the world while showcasing some of the amazing products by Blue
Competition and Rolf Prima.”

Brian Roddy, owner of Rolf Prima agrees, "It's been a great experience to work with Cyclocrossracing.com and Blue Competition in putting together such a
strong team for the coming cross season and it was perfect timing with the
launch of our new cross wheels.”

features include BB30, tapered headtubes and beefy carbon forks making for a

into it while the fiberglass impregnated brake sidewalls improve braking and
durability.
